Swindon Borough Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced service providers for the provision of a new Case Management System for Children's Social Care. Project Description
We are seeking to procure and implement a replacement Case Management System for Children's Social Care that will support us over the next 5 plus years in moving to a model of outcome focused children's services whilst ensuring compliance with the latest legislation. The initial contract term will be for 60 months with an option to extend for a further 36 months (three periods of 12 months) for a potential total contract term of eight years as stated in the ITT documents. Estimated contract spend is between 475,000 and 550,000 across the initial 5-year contract term and between 600,000 and 764,000 across the potential total 8 year contract term.
Swindon Borough Council use Capita One for Children Social Care Case Management and wish to replace this with a new system to support Children Services across the Council. The system needs to allow our workforce flexibility in work location and wherever possible access to live case data or, where not possible, access to data off-line on laptops, tablet or smartphone devices.
The system must meet all statutory recording and reporting requirements for Children's Social care, provide full data export including financial information and be capable of real-time reporting.

Full details relating to the Goods and Services are provided in the tender documents.
