Tenders in Kenya

I have just been told ningojee another 2 weeks (after waiting 90 days for payment, extending the Bid Bond for another 90 days, Travelling, I did not use LPO financing hio itafanya watu wa Bank). This tender started 1 year ago. Ama Sijalipa mtu!
If you have done a tender; shame and name:

kusema na kutender ndo zao…

Ongea vizuri na watu wa finance mambo yako iwe sorted, ama ubaki hapo ukingoja kama vile imeandikwa kwa contract document

I feel you! did biz in July, leo ndio nimepeleka invoice and I’m being told it will take 2weeks… I’m just speechless.

@Young which company

panua mguu uwe sorted

@Yollo niongee na MD ama Finance Head.
Wanakulanga kama ngapi: I don’t want to over influence.
Shida nikiongea na yeye, it normally does not change a lot: Reducing from 14 days to 7 days hainisaidii

What???

They only do 60%! And, you still follow up on payment. Collateral required for over 5,000,000

Ongea huyo jamaa wa finance head, remember everybody has a price, muulize anatakaje, then negotiate from there

They only do 60% of the contract value! And, you still follow up on payment. Collateral required for over 5,000,000

when I did it, it was very gud biz but sasa getting paid almost 3 months down the line doesn’t make sense, shida ya hawa watu huwa nini lakini?

No offence but how long have you been in business, rule of thump, facilitation fees (if any) are normally agreed upon before the submission of Tender documents so that they dont eat into your revenue, i know its sad but thats just the way it is

3 months na unalia? hehehe najua mtu amengoja karibu mwaka tender ya Cownty

cownty ni noma! my wife did a tender ya county and was never paid, she even forgot about it! later on at the end of the financial year ndio alipata withholding tax certificate from treasury and she din’t know kumbe she got paid.

You applied 1 year ago or you won the tender 1 year ago?
Whoever told you to wait 2wks anza na yeye, kama ni barua tafuta mwenye amesign.

@incognitus the timeline:
Its been more than a year, the tender opening was in [B]August 2015.

Even worse, I did another tender ya Kujenga Ukuta. And, everyday I walk outside the Institution na hiyo project has never been done after 2 years!

@jimmy_m I said I will start taking all my tenders to PPOA tribunal! I know some cases where umelipa kila mtu ukikuja kudemand payment wanakuwekea carpet from the parking, but it still lags kwa PPOA and is awarded to another company. Sasa kama umelipa Finance et al uko na shida, hakuna refund.
