## Summary

The Newcastle City Council is initiating a procurement process titled "Market Engagement for an Inclusion Database System," with a focus on database systems within the North East of England. Currently at the planning stage, the engagement period ends on 7 September 2018. The Council plans to hold two supplier engagement events to encourage market participation and gain insights into potential solutions that will support the management of homeless statutory functions and related housing support allocations.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to engage with a local authority seeking to enhance its data management capabilities. Companies specialising in database systems and content management software are well-positioned to compete, especially those offering innovative solutions that facilitate collaborative data sharing among partners. This project not only opens doors for business growth but also allows participants to contribute to important social outcomes within the community.

## Notice

Newcastle City Council require an open-ended database system to act as a single point gateway to support and manage the Councils homeless statutory functions, allocation of housing related support and co-ordination of supported living. A shared system allows The Council to maintain common definitions and processes, and to report on aggregated data. The basis of the Gateway is a single client record, which can be updated over time and allows sharing of accurate, relevant data between partners. The Council will be hosting two supplier engagement events in order to help us understand the market further and aid us with our procurement process.
