The process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement deadline set for 26th August 2022. This system aims to enhance workforce planning by identifying key requirements such as headcount, efficiency, and skills. Interested suppliers can access the early engagement notice and related documents through the provided links for further details. This procurement opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in software solutions, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with expertise in designing user-friendly data management systems that ensure security and facilitate effective collaboration among staff will find this tender particularly relevant. By engaging in this process, businesses could influence the development of an innovative solution that improves workforce management and decision-making capabilities within the College of Policing. ## Notice Background The College of Policing is looking to procure a workforce planning system to identify future workforce requirements to include headcount, efficiency, locations, competencies, and skills to inform our approach to recruitment, development, and deployment of staff and secondees. We need to improve our current workforce planning approach to easily be able to undertake meaningful analysis of the "as is" nature of our workforce, that enables us to develop models of how our future workforce could look and the critical skills gaps needed to bridge our work demands. We must be able to identify our people development activities so they can be targeted to address defined future needs and strengthen future leadership capacity, reducing lag time or the need to bring in contingent labour. The College needs a solution that is secure, user friendly, stores all relevant information and provides easy access to College users. Users will be allocated a user level when they are invited to join the system which will only allow them to see information appropriate to their role and prevent changes to records being made by someone without correct authority. In summary, the College is seeking to find a solution which provides better data management, better accessibility, appropriate security, and allows for efficient and realistic modelling against future requirements. Desired Outcomes A new holistic solution should allow us to manage data relationships in a single product, empowering managers to effectively plan and make better business decisions. We would expect to see the following: * Increase productivity and ensure continuity with a complete view of information. Rather than having to toggle between systems or manage spreadsheets, staff remain within the same intuitive interface. * Improve visibility and fluid design. Reporting dashboards of all relevant management data increase transparency and allow each business area to develop clear workforce plans, which will be consistent with the College wide plan. * Ensure effective collaboration. With critical information easily accessible to all authorised employees improved awareness of the capabilities within of our current workforce will support greater cooperation/skills transfer across business areas.
