PROCUREGUARD MCP | Statutory Procurement Auditor

Air-gapped forensic audit middleware for public sector procurement integrity under Kenya's PPADA 2015 Section 114.

1. Problem Statement

Public procurement systems across emerging markets face systemic risks from structural overpricing, price drift, and covert cartel collusion (such as shared directorships or matching KRA PINs among seemingly distinct bidders). Standard digital procurement portals lack real-time, local forensic checks to catch line-item inflation before contract execution, leading to public revenue leakage.

2. Solution Overview

ProcureGuard MCP is an air-gapped, sovereign forensic auditing tool. It intercepts submitted bid envelopes, evaluates line-item rates against local statutory baselines, and flags price drift and corporate identity overlap.

Key Features

• Zero-Leak Air-Gapped Intelligence: Runs locally using qwen2.5-instruct:3b via Ollama to synthesize statutory briefs without leaking public procurement data to cloud APIs.

• FastMCP Telemetry: Connects local SQLite ledgers directly to high-contrast frontend dashboards.

• Human-in-the-Loop Sign-Off: Enforces Kenya’s Public Procurement and Asset Disposal Act (PPADA) 2015 Section 114, requiring cryptographic officer authentication before escalating or clearing flagged tenders.

3. Target Users

• Public Procurement Officers: Conducting initial bid evaluation and statutory compliance checks.

• Forensic Internal Auditors: Reviewing historical price drift across municipal supply chains.

• Regulatory & Anti-Corruption Bodies: Inspecting immutable audit logs and officer decision trails.
