This open tender, classified under the software package and information systems industry category, is active and will conclude on 25 April 2018. The contract period is set from 1 May 2018 to 1 May 2023, with the current focus on improving the efficiency of school placement appeals. Interested bidders must utilise the SE Shared Services eSourcing portal for submission of their proposals. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the software development sector, particularly those specialising in bespoke applications for public sector processes. Companies with expertise in creating digital solutions to streamline administrative procedures may find this project particularly relevant, as the Council is seeking to transition from a manual workflow to a more efficient system. As other local authorities have expressed interest in a similar solution, successful bidders could potentially expand their clientele within the public sector landscape. ## Notice East Sussex County Council ("the Council") has developed a software application (the "Solution") that enables it to manage appeals against school placements, from the initial appeal submitted into the Solutions' portal from a dissatisfied Parent/Carer through to its conclusion. The solution is now hosted by and in use within the Council, which has enabled it to reduce its administration costs of managing what was previously a resource intensive process, as well as improving the digital experience for those Parents/Carers lodging the appeal. When the Council initially identified the appeals process inefficiency, it sought but failed to find an off-the-shelf commercially available solution tailored for schools placement appeals and so funded its own Solution. In discussions with other local authorities, the Council is of the opinion that managing school placement appeals is generally an inefficient and manual process and whilst appeal volumes vary considerably from one authority to another, there is a strong interest from other local authorities to use such a Solution.
