Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves LGSS on behalf of Northamptonshire County Council, seeking to acquire a new coroners software system to replace the outdated IRIS system. The tender, titled "Northamptonshire County Council Coroners Software," is classified under the software package and information systems industry. The procurement stage is now complete, with the contract period starting from 23rd December 2019 and concluding on 22nd December 2023.

Notice Title

Northamptonshire County Council Coroners Software

Notice Description

The current CMS used by the service, IRIS, will no longer be supported as of December 2019 as it is an outdated system. There is therefore an urgent need to source an appropriate replacement. The new system would need to account for other external factors including: the projected increase in demand; the transition of the coroner's service into NCC; the introduction of a Medical Examiner function in the NHS; GDPR and appropriate storage/retention regulations; the transition to unitary authorities.
