## Summary

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LGSS on behalf of Northamptonshire County Council, seeking to acquire a new coroners software system to replace the outdated IRIS system.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. The total value of the contract is £110,000, with the tender officially closing on 17th October 2019.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in software development and information systems. Companies with expertise in delivering solutions that comply with GDPR and can adapt to the evolving demands of coroners' services—such as increased demand and the introduction of a Medical Examiner function—would be well-positioned to compete. The successful supplier, WPC Software Limited, demonstrates that SMEs can effectively respond to public sector needs, thereby encouraging other businesses in the industry to explore similar opportunities for growth.

## Notice

The current CMS used by the service, IRIS, will no longer be supported as of December 2019 as it is an outdated system.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.
