What Urząd Ochrony Konkurencji i Konsumentów does

Starostwo Powiatowe w Kępnie is the administrative office of Powiat Kępiński, a powiat (county) within Wielkopolskie Voivodeship (Greater Poland), Poland. The office was re-established in 1999 following the restoration of the powiat tier in Polish local-government reform. Headquartered at ul. Kościuszki 5 in Kępno, with a secondary site for the Department of Geodesy, Cartography, Land Registry and Property Management at ul. Staszica 12, the Starostwo delivers statutorily mandated public services to residents and entities of the county, including vehicle registration through a hybrid queue and phone-appointment system, free legal aid (Nieodpłatna Pomoc Prawna) at distributed points across the district, crisis management and meteorological/hydrological warnings, civil/administrative support, and a Found Items Office.

The office's core product surface is a set of civic digital services built around a queue/appointment portal (rezerwacja.powiatkepno.pl), a Public Information Bulletin (BIP at bip.powiatkepno.pl), a geographic information system (GeoInfo Powiat Kępiński at imapa.powiatkepno.pl), and a Virtual Tour platform (wirtualnawycieczka.powiatkepno.pl) recently extended to a student-built hospital walkthrough. Distribution is in-person at the headquarters, by phone and queue, and through a network of gmina-level free legal aid points.

The business model is non-commercial: the office is a unit of Polish local self-government (samorząd) funded from the state budget and local-government finances, with no revenue from customers in the conventional sense and no pricing disclosed. International cooperation is maintained via twinning agreements with Aurich (Germany, 2002), Kiskore (Hungary, 2003), and Newquay (England).

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Urząd Miasta Wrocławia: Wrocław City Hall, a major Polish municipal administration. Comparable for purposes of benchmarking e-government products (BIP, queue system, GIS, citizen portals) at a much higher resourcing level, illustrating the digital-maturity frontier that smaller poviats like Kępno are moving toward.
• Urząd Miasta Stołecznego Warszawy: Warsaw City Hall, the largest municipal administration in Poland. Operates a similar portfolio of citizen services (vehicle registration, legal aid, crisis management, GIS) at major-city scale and budget, providing a reference point for advanced e-government maturity, though its urban mandate exceeds the powiat-level statutory functions of Kępno.
• Urząd Miasta Poznania: City hall of Poznań, the regional capital and largest city in the Wielkopolskie voivodeship. Operates a broader mandate (urban services, transport, education) but also runs analogous vehicle registration, legal aid, and crisis-management functions at much greater scale, serving as a benchmark for what a well-funded Greater Poland local-government office can deliver.

Direct peers

• Starostwo Powiatowe w Poznaniu: Powiat-level starostwo in the same Greater Poland (Wielkopolskie) voivodeship, performing an essentially identical mandate: vehicle registration, free legal aid, crisis management, GIS services, public roads and infrastructure. The closest functional peer, with an overlapping regional funding environment and identical statutory obligations.
• Starostwo Powiatowe w Ostrzeszowie: Neighboring powiat (Ostrzeszów County) sharing a border with Kępno County. Provides the same statutory local-government services at the same level, competes for the same regional grants, and would be benchmarked with Kępno on service delivery and digitization.
• Starostwo Powiatowe w Kaliszu: Another powiat-level county office in the Wielkopolskie voivodeship, offering the same statutory services (vehicle registration, geodesy, free legal aid, crisis management) to a similar demographic of residents. Directly comparable in scale and service mix; competitor for the same central government grant programs (e.g., Razem Bezpieczniej).

Regional players

• Landkreis Aurich: German district (Landkreis) administration in Lower Saxony with which the Starostwo has maintained a formal twinning partnership since 2002. Comparable at the district/county level of government with overlapping services (vehicle registration, crisis management, public works), operating in a different national jurisdiction.
