Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Herefordshire Council has initiated a new public procurement process for a Case Management System through a Request For Information (RFI). The council aims to replace existing systems with a more integrated and interoperable solution covering key social care and education services. The engagement end date for this planning stage is set for June 3, 2024. The procurement process falls under the IT services category and is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) interested in providing consulting, software development, and support services to the public sector in the United Kingdom.

The procurement process led by Herefordshire Council offers an opportunity for businesses specialising in IT services to contribute to the development and integration of critical social care and education systems. This tender would be suitable for SMEs looking to expand their portfolio by providing innovative solutions to improve service delivery within the local authority and enhance interoperability with external organisations, such as the NHS. Companies with expertise in software development and consulting are well-positioned to engage in this public procurement process and potentially secure a contract with Herefordshire Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Case Management System Request For Information (RFI)

Notice Description

Herefordshire Council currently has several contracts for key social care and education systems from one supplier (Access Group UK) which all terminate in September 2026. The contracts cover Adults and Children's case management, Adults financial assessments, Education management information system and an Integrated Post 16 Data Management System. These systems have in the past been procured independently but over recent years it has become increasingly important that the services work closely together and that the systems they use provide a high level of integration and interoperability both within the local authority and external organisations e.g. NHS. The council wishes to gather appropriate information by way of this RFI to aid decision making prior to running a formal tender and awarding a new contract to replace the existing system. Additional information: Herefordshire Council has published this opportunity on the 'Supplying the Southwest Portal'.
