KENYA POWER AND LIGHTING COMPANY INVITES KENYANS TO APPLY FOR CONSULTING SERVICES ON LAST-MILE ELECTRICITY PROJECT

Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC) has invited Kenyans to apply for consulting services under the Last-Mile Electricity Connectivity Project (LMCP). The programme aims at expanding electricity access to underserved and remote areas across the country. KPLC seeks to engage a local expert to support the project's supervision and management after receiving a loan from the African Development Bank.
"The Republic of Kenya has received a loan from the African Development Bank to finance the implementation cost of Phase III of the Last Mile Connectivity Project. Part of these funds will be utilised to pay for consultancy services in the implementation of this project. In this regard, the company invites eligible consultants to express their interest in providing the above services. Consultants may constitute joint ventures," KPLC stated in a notice.
KPLC asked interested consultants to submit their interest to the general manager, supply chain and logistics. It clarified that the eligibility requirements, selection process and shortlisting will adhere to the African Development Bank's "Procurement Policy for Bank Group Funded Operations."
The project scope comprises implementing system reinforcement projects across 45 counties and connecting families within a 600-meter transformer distance within 24 months. Kenya Power has connected 746,867 customers to the national grid since the Last Mile Connectivity Project began in 2015.
