Social Work Scheduling Tool

As part of the preparatory work for a potential future procurement procedure, North Lanarkshire Council (the “Council”) is looking to engage with the market for a potential replacement to the current home support scheduling tool with an ambition to have a new contract in place and fully mobilised by October 1st 2024. To enable the Council to plan and prepare for any future procurement procedure, the Council would like to invite interested parties to a 45 minute online meeting on December 1st 2023. Suppliers are invited to present a high-level overview of software scheduling products which meet the requirements as detailed in the schedule of requirements (see attached additional document). Suppliers should detail fully and provide examples of successful use of software in a similar environment. This is to help inform the Council of what commercial off-the shelf software is available and the capabilities of current software. Suppliers are required to provide a brief overview of what licencing options are available and estimated implementation timeframes. Suppliers should respond to mootyh@northlan.gov.uk by 17:00 24 November 2023 to express interest in presenting your solution. Invites will then be sent to interested parties via Microsoft Teams. On review of interest expressions North Lanarkshire Council will issue these invitations and may require additional dates. We may commence further engagement during the meeting around areas of demonstrations, and technical detail. The council does not commit to issuing any future procurement via Open Procedure and will be considering the use of existing 3rd party framework agreements when procuring. This exercise is to engage the market and understand what solutions are currently available, their capability and capacity to deliver.
