## Summary

The procurement process for the "CP1821-19 Legal Case Management System" was conducted by Devon County Council, located in Exeter, UK. This complete tender is classified under the software package and information systems category, with a total contract value of £150,000. The procurement method utilised for this process was a direct award via the Digital Marketplace, with the contract period commencing on 31 May 2022 and concluding on 30 May 2024. The tender period ended on 25 January 2021, and the award status was marked active as of 20 December 2021.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in legal software solutions, particularly those offering electronic case management systems, document storage, and time-recording software. Companies that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or those classified as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE) may find it particularly advantageous to compete for this contract, as Devon County Council is supportive of engaging such businesses. The successful integration of modern legal software could enhance operational efficiencies for the council's legal services, thereby setting a strong precedent in local authority procurement.

## Notice

DCC Legal Services supports and advises the whole Council, maintained schools, and Dartmoor and Exmoor National Park Authorities. However, it is not equipped with a legal case management system, something which is an industry standard in the vast majority of local authorities in-house legal teams and virtually all legal private practices across the country. A legal case management provides three core functions, which we are currently lacking: * a way of electronically storing and retrieving correspondence, court orders, reports, agreements, and other documents in a secure, uniform, comprehensive, and readily accessible medium across the Legal team; * a modern time-recording system that can quickly and accurately allocate time spent on individual matters, activities, and clients, and retrieve such data for both chargeable and non-chargeable matters; and * an electronic court bundling software, enabling easy and rapid bundle assembly.
