SHA launches e-contracting portal for healthcare providers as new applications open

The Social Health Authority (SHA) has launched its E-Contracting Portal, providing healthcare providers with a new platform to apply for contracts under Kenya's government health financing funds. The portal went live at 3 pm on September 17, 2026, and will facilitate applications for the Primary Health Care Fund (PHCF), Social Health Insurance Fund (SHIF), Emergency, Chronic and Critical Illness Fund (ECCIF), and the Public Officers Medical Scheme Fund (POMSF).

SHA emphasized that applications submitted before the official launch will not be carried forward and must be resubmitted through the now-live portal. Healthcare providers are advised to ensure that all information entered into the portal is complete and accurate, and all required supporting documents are provided. The portal can be accessed through econtracting.sha.go.ke.
