Development and Implementation of the Kenya Police Integrated Crime Management System

The Government of Kenya has received a credit from the World Bank toward the cost of developing the National Statistical System (NSS) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for Consultant Services for Kenya Police Service.

The purpose of the consultancy is to improve data management and dissemination in the Kenya Police Service by developing a system that will capture real time data from County to National level, reduce duplication of duties, reduce work load and be user friendly.
The system should be simple in design and implementation requiring very low system resources and working in almost all configurations.

The consultant is expected to remedy deficiencies in data management in the department by introducing modern data management practices. The consultant will come up with two levels of data management systems – one to cater for data for internal use, and the other to cater for data to be disseminated to the public while adhering to confidentiality requirements.

Specifically, the consultant will be expected to come up with:-
  • A centralized integrated, web-based data management system for Police Service, separating data for internal use and data for public dissemination.
  • Warehousing of data that allows easy updating and reduces risks.
  • Accessibility to data from various sources electronically to eliminate manual entry.
The database system should have the following features:-

i) Multi-frequency and ability to record and store daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual data.
ii) Be compatible with computer systems for both internal and external sources of data.
iii) Be capable of generating various reports as required;
iv) Be able to generate data in formats which are compatible with various spreadsheet and econometric software e.g. Excel, Eviews and PcGive.
v) Provide report writing tools that make it easy to define new reports and customise existing reports.
vi) High degree of parameterisation and scalablity to allow easy customisation of the system to meet KEPOCRIMS current and future requirements.
vii) Ability to automatically schedule data imports and exports to occur based on defined criteria such as, for example, time of the day and day of the week.

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics now invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing the services. Interested consultants must provide information indicating that they are qualified to perform the services (brochures, description of similar assignments, experience in similar conditions, availability of appropriate skills among staff, etc.).
Consultants may associate to enhance their qualifications.

A consultant will be selected in accordance with the procedures set out in the World Bank’s Guidelines: Selection and Employment of Consultants by World Bank Borrowers (current edition).
