Huduma Centres are streamlining access to government tenders for small businesses, particularly for **youth**, **women**, and **persons with disabilities**, through the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) programme. This initiative reserves 30% of public procurement spending for these groups, enabling them to secure contracts without competing directly with larger firms.

• Entrepreneurs must obtain AGPO certification as a mandatory step to bid for reserved government contracts.
• Huduma Centres provide assistance with online AGPO registration, requiring documents like Business Registration Certificate and KRA PIN.
• Beyond AGPO, businesses must register as suppliers via IFMIS and EGP systems, with support available at Huduma Centres.
• Tender opportunities can be found on the Public Procurement Information Portal (PPIP), with most Huduma Centres operating on an appointment-only basis via the Huduma Service By Appointment portal or by dialling *191#.
