This allows instant verification of business details and tax compliance.<\/p>\n<p>It is also integrated with the Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) programme, which verifies certificates for youth, women, and persons with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>As a supplier, tenderer, or consultant to the County Government of Siaya, one must create a profile on the eGP portal to participate in procurement processes. To register, businesses require a valid business registration number, KRA PIN, and other authorized details.<\/p>\n<p>The platform incorporates key modules including procurement and disposal plans, tenders, contracts, e-auctions, registered procurement entities, registered suppliers, and catalogues. These features enable prompt and efficient processing of procurement requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The system assigns different roles and access rights to department accounting officers, County Executive Committee Members (CECs), Chief Officers, accountants, and other staff for day-to-day operations. It eliminates delays, for instance, by allowing immediate replacement of user accounts when staff retire or leave the service.<\/p>\n<p>All authorised officers are provided with login credentials and user guides.
