i) Are legally and financially autonomous,
ii) Operate under commercial law, and
iii) Are not dependent agencies of the Public Sector
As an exception to (e) above, when the services of government-owned universities or research
centers or other institutions in Kenya are of unique and exceptional nature including because of
the absence of a suitable private sector alternative, and their participation is critical to project
implementation, the Procuring Entity may agree on the hiring of those institutions on a case-by-
case basis. On the same basis, university professors or scientists from research institutes can be
contracted individually.
f) Government officials and civil servants shall not be short listed or hired under consulting contracts either
as individuals or as members of the team of experts proposed by a consulting firm.
8. As a general Rule
9. The Procuring Entity shall not deny participation in a short-listing or selection process or award to a consultant for
reasons unrelated to:
i) Its capability and resources to successfully perform the contract; or
ii) The conflict of interest situations.
iii) The Procuring Entity shall not require consultants to form associations with any specific firm or group
of firms or include any particular individual in their proposals, but may encourage association with
qualified national firms.
10. Advertising

least one daily newspaper of country wide circulation as provided in the Act. Applicants shall be given adequate
number of days to per use the TOR and make any enquiries to enable them respond to the EOI.Usually14daysis
considered adequate, since no proposals are expected. The notice will advise on when the applications will be
closed. The Procuring Entity must open the applications at the place and time indicated in the EOI. Late
applications may not be necessarily rejected, since these are not proposals or tenders.
ix
11. Preparation of Applications
The applications shall at least pay particular attention to providing all the information required in the EOI.
The Procuring Entity has no control of how much the application will contain but shall determine what
information is relevant/not relevant. Applicants have a tendency of including too much information to impress
the Procuring Entity; so, it will be responsibility of the PE to remove or separate fat from the meat, assuming
what is wanted is meat.
12. Opening of applications
The Procuring Entity shall publicly open and read out all applications received by the deadline, at the date,
time and place specified in the EOI Notice, in the presence of the applicants, designated representatives who
