Government tenders in Kenya: where they are published.
Kenya publishes public tenders through three national channels, the Public Procurement Information Portal, the regulator PPRA and the e-GP system, and through a long tail of health buyers. TRINTA maps 20 Kenyan sources, 6 of them in the health system.
The national channels
These are the public, national-level sources: anyone can find them in one search. They carry a large share of the notices, not all of them.

What TRINTA does on this market
TRINTA reads these sources every day so the company does not have to. The radar is built per client: it starts from the company's real catalogue, builds a multilingual keyword profile, then scores every notice 0 to 100 against what the company actually sells, with the reasoning shown. Procedure documents are retrieved and attached, and a short scored list arrives each morning.
The same radar covers 170+ countries and 1,627 mapped official platforms, plus the multilateral lenders. A company selling in Kenya rarely sells only in Kenya.
