The procurement process is in the open tender stage and is set to close on 6th March 2018. The project has an allocated budget of £200,000 and seeks to implement a new technical solution to enhance data transfer and reporting for effective strategic decision-making. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 16th July 2018 and conclude on 15th July 2023. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in software packages and information systems. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete, given the emphasis on modernising technology in government services. Companies experienced in developing integrated platforms for data management and support services will find this contract an advantageous opportunity for business growth within the public sector. ## Notice Herefordshire Council must provide a housing advice and register service for residents. The service should be supported by on-line content and a self-assessment tool, providing consistent and up to date information on local housing allocation and related services. The current technical solution, Abritas, has been used for more than ten years and is a fully integrated advice, assessment, register and advertising system. In order to ensure houses are allocated in accordance with the council's housing policy it is important that the providers' systems and the council's system are able to transfer data effectively on a daily basis. A new technical solution is required to support the business lifecycle from provision of data reflecting housing register priorities to external agencies, updating of information to providing outcome data. It will also need to provide detailed and accurate reports and data to key stakeholders for effective strategic decision making.
