Project anatomy

Contract scope and delivery roles

Client / authority
Kenya State Department for the Blue Economy and Fisheries through KEMFSED, World Bank project P163980
Delivery parties
Pristim Supply Limited - prime works contractor under KE-MOMBEMA-MSA-2024-008-CW
Contract route
Kidongo was tendered as a World Bank-financed Request for Bids subject to post review. The awards dataset records contract 1793484 signed on 11 June 2024 and excludes subcontract awards and cofinancing, leaving the ice, wastewater, retaining and utility supply chain open.
Execution window
The works package allowed 12 calendar months for construction. KEMFSED recorded the formal construction launch in October 2024 and published the site photograph in January 2025. Current percentage, completion, defects close-out and operating handover remain unreported through 3 August 2026.
Works package
Build a social fish banda, social hall, BMU office and ablution facilities, plus a one-tonne-per-day ice plant. Civil and external works include MBBR and biological wastewater treatment, dissolved-air flotation, biodigester, retaining wall, drainage, landscaping, access roads, perimeter wall, water, power, mechanical and electrical systems.
Marine interfaces
Kidongo's interface is a shoreline fish-landing and handling facility rather than a disclosed jetty or dredging package. The retaining wall, access and drainage have to protect a constrained coastal workfront and connect fish landing to sanitary handling and cold-chain functions. No source discloses shoreline quantities, marine plant or lower-tier specialists.
Commercial evidence boundary
A USD 1,354,881.48 supplier commitment defines the prime-award value, not paid expenditure or final account. Public records do not allocate value to the ice plant, retaining wall, wastewater systems or subcontractors.
