Kenya's National Treasury has begun evaluating bids for a transaction adviser on the planned expansion of the Nairobi-Mombasa Expressway. The government wants to turn the roughly 460-kilometre highway into a four-lane toll road. The adviser would help structure the transaction and coordinate the work needed before construction can proceed. The tender is still under review, so no consultant or implementation contract has yet been confirmed. The expressway is one of Kenya's principal transport links, connecting the capital with the coast and Mombasa port. A construction timetable and financing plan would have to be approved after the adviser is selected. The evaluation will establish which proposal offers the government the strongest commercial and technical support.
