Contractors and suppliers to the government will from this month suffer a slight reduction in payments for the goods and services they deliver, following a new levy that will cut their contract price by 0.03 percent.

In a circular dated August 30, 2024, the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA) asked officers across national and county governments to start charging the Public Procurement Capacity Building Levy from September 1, setting in motion the implementation of the levy that was proposed last year.
