Performance Bond Insurance

Win Tenders. Deliver With Confidence.

Most tenders in Kenya — public and private — require a performance bond of 5–10% of the contract value as security that the contractor will deliver. An insurance-backed bond frees up cash you'd otherwise tie up as a bank guarantee. We arrange bonds accepted by the National Treasury, county governments, KeNHA, KeRRA, KPLC, KPA and major private employers.

FAQ

Quick answers

How is an insurance bond different from a bank guarantee?+

A bank guarantee locks up cash or an overdraft line. An insurance bond only requires a premium (typically 1–3% of the bond value per year) — no lock-up, so you keep your working capital free.

How quickly can you issue a bond?+

Once we have your KRA PIN, financials, contract award letter and completed application, most bonds are issued within 48 hours. Urgent bid bonds can be turned around the same day.
