LAMU COUNTY TRAINS SUPPLIERS ON NEW E-PROCUREMENT SYSTEM

The County Government of Lamu, through its Department of Finance – Supply Chain Management Unit, on Friday conducted a comprehensive training session for local suppliers on the use of the Electronic Government Procurement (e-GP) System.

The training, held at the Lamu County Command Center, brought together dozens of pre qualified suppliers from across the county. The initiative, spearheaded by the Supply Chain Management Team, aimed to equip participants with practical knowledge and digital skills required to effectively engage with the e-GP platform — a system designed to streamline and modernize public procurement processes.

According to officials from the Supply Chain Management Unit, the adoption of the e-GP system will enhance transparency, strengthen accountability, and provide fair and open access to procurement opportunities within the County Government.

The session covered key components of the system, including:

1. Functional use and navigation of the e-GP platform

2. Supplier registration and account activation

3. Electronic bid submission

4. The Annual Procurement Plan (APP) and associated modules

County officials emphasized that all future procurement processes will be conducted exclusively through the e-GP platform and urged all suppliers to complete their registration promptly to ensure continued participation.

Suppliers in attendance welcomed the training, noting the system’s potential to improve efficiency and accessibility in public procurement.
