Consultancy to Develop and Manage Performance Management Software
Background
The Government of Kenya has, in the last seven years, been implementing public sector reforms that are geared towards regulating the manner, propriety and effectiveness of the services offered by public institutions. This is in recognition that the quality of these services has significant impact on, and contributes to socio-economic development and welfare of the citizens.

The broad objective of public sector reforms is to increase customer satisfaction with public services, ensure accountability for utilization of public resources and to facilitate creation of competitive advantage for the country. This has been achieved largely through introduction of performance contracting system as the national public sector management accountability framework.
The Performance Contracting Department is in the process of procuring a Performance Management Automation Software with capacity to enable top managers of public service institutions continuously monitor performance in real time, in both head offices and downstream offices throughout the country.
The purpose of automating performance management is to:
·         ensure real time and continuous monitoring and evaluation of performance public in ministries and accounting departments;
·         ensure information is consistently measured across the entire spectrum of individual ministries/departments;
·         consolidate focused information which is pertinent to decision making; and
·         Provide a mechanism for highlighting issues needing attention.
The software will be first piloted in select ministries.
The system should be robust enough to integrate existing monitoring and evaluation processes and capture implementation by ministries of Vision 2030 and other national priorities including development projects.
Objective of the Consultancy
·         To develop performance management information system infrastructure including the basic and supporting architecture;
·         Procure, install and operationalize the performance management system software in Ministries and Accounting Departments;
·         Roll out and train key officials on real time monitoring and evaluation;
·         Integrate monitoring and evaluation systems in the public service.
