Comparison

EATT vs tenders.go.ke for ICT Procurement in East Africa

Both platforms list Kenyan procurement opportunities — but they serve very different purposes. Here's an honest comparison.

tenders.go.ke covers Kenya only — EATT covers 9 countries, ICT-only

tenders.go.ke is Kenya's official government procurement portal, managed by the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA). It's the authoritative source for Kenyan government tenders across all sectors — and EATT monitors it every Tuesday as part of its weekly research sweep.

East Africa Tech Tenders (EATT) takes a fundamentally different approach: a curated, human-verified weekly intelligence briefing covering ICT procurement across 9 East African markets — pulling from tenders.go.ke alongside government portals in 8 other countries, World Bank, AfDB, UN agencies, EU-funded programmes, and bilateral donors.

If you're an ICT vendor operating in Kenya and East Africa, here's what you need to know about each.

Note: EATT and tenders.go.ke are not direct competitors — EATT monitors tenders.go.ke as one of 80+ sources it tracks weekly. ICT tenders from Kenya's government portal appear inside EATT automatically, alongside opportunities from 8 other markets.
