The project aims to enhance the data matching capability within the council, addressing interoperability issues in their data systems. The procurement process targets the East Renfrewshire region (UKM83) and notable dates include the submission deadline for supplier responses by 12 noon on 15th August 2024, with further notice expected by 1st November 2024. Chief Procurement Officer Debbie Hill is the primary contact for this project. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in data solutions, particularly those offering software with data cleansing, secure handling, and capability to manage large and complex datasets. Firms experienced with public sector clients, especially within Scotland, are well-suited for this initiative. The council seeks suppliers who can provide both on-premises and cloud-based solutions, complete with detailed cost projections and previous client success stories. Businesses capable of fulfilling these requirements and enhancing data interoperability within public organisations stand to benefit significantly from this contract. ## Notice East Renfrewshire Council are scoping a project to increase our data matching capability within the organisation. Business units have articulated data-related problems that are impacting their ability to get complete and reliable information from systems. Data resides in a range of software systems and there is limited interoperability. Business units are unable to make informed decisions. The problems converge on the potential need for data matching software. There is a high level of sensitivity in the datasets so security and resilience are key considerations for us. ### Lot Information Lot 1 East Renfrewshire Council are scoping a project to increase our data matching capability within the organisation.
