Supply Chain Management Department

The Supply Chain Management Department ensures that goods, works and services — from workshop tools to construction services — reach the right place, at the right time, at the right price and through a clean process.

Core Functions

• Procurement planning — preparing annual procurement plans aligned with departmental needs and budgets.
• Sourcing — competitive tendering, quotations and evaluation in line with Kenyan public procurement law and DTTI policies.
• Contract management — timely delivery, inspection, acceptance and payment processing.
• Stores and inventory — receiving, issuing and safeguarding institute property, with regular stock-taking.
• Asset disposal — transparent disposal of obsolete items in line with approved procedures.

Suppliers are invited to respond to tender notices advertised at the Vihiga Main branch and on the website. The department works closely with Finance and is subject to review by Internal Audit, ensuring value for money for every shilling spent.
