Notice Title

Mental Welfare Commission Case Management System

Notice Description

A case management system is sought to replace MWC's core IT system, which, is complex system that enables management of forms, checks, alerts and automation of sequences of tasks to accomplish business processes that safeguard that we are able to monitor the use of mental health and incapacity legislation in Scotland, to ensure is being applied appropriately and lawfully. A high level of configurability to enable us to manage changes to legislative forms and processes and that enables direct and ad-hoc reporting is sought. MWC receive forms and documentation that is scanned and information captured directly into the system. The system must allow the appropriate logic to manage each different form type, identify if it relates to an existing service user, if the form is a valid successor to a previous form, if the form is starting, extending or closing an episode, and be able to manage complex rules to test the legality of the information. Forms must be received in a specific sequence and within a timescale outlined in the various acts. The solution must enable alerts and messages for end users to be configured to indicate non-compliance with the legislation. Some forms may be digitised as part of the delivery of a new system, whilst other need to remain in pdf format. A Service User or Individual can be detained under several acts, which means there is a need for the system to manage concurrent episodes under different acts. The system should also be capable of managing and automating many business processes and tasks including email and document management, handling and recording of contacts made to and by the Commission, automation of the process for second opinion visits, investigations and various types of visits. The system should be capable of document storage and management of documentation relating to cases, visits, investigations. The supplier must be able to migrate all data including legacy data from our core IT system. Please refer to the SPD Instructions for Bidders document for a description of how to complete the SPD.
