Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Leicestershire County Council has completed the awarding of a contract for the hosting and maintenance of an online web-based portal for online procedures manuals, targeting software package and information systems. This procurement, conducted under an open procedure, aimed to support the needs of the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. The contract, valued at £77,704, was awarded to SIGNIS LIMITED, and services are set to commence on 21 March 2025, with an initial period of two years and the possibility of extensions up to 24 months in 12-month increments.
This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, specifically those capable of delivering software development, consulting, and support. SMEs and organisations within the voluntary sector are well-positioned to compete in similar tenders, given the contract's stipulation of suitability for such entities. The comprehensive nature of the services required ensures that businesses with robust technical capabilities, compliance with industry standards, and the ability to provide integrated solutions aligned with multi-agency practices can benefit greatly from this type of procurement.
Procurement for Hosting and Maintenance of an Online Web Based Portal for Online Procedures Manuals. The Multi-Agency Safeguarding Arrangements in the geographical area of Leicester, Leicestershire & Rutland (LLR) are the Leicestershire & Rutland Safeguarding Children Partnership and the Leicester Safeguarding Children Partnership Board (SCPs). The two SCPs collaborate to develop a suite of policies, procedures and protocols to inform (within a multi-agency context) the work of practitioners working across LLR.
Therefore, there is an online manual which is accessible to all practitioners, including those from statutory and voluntary agencies. Each Local Authority (Leicester City Council, Leicestershire County Council, Rutland County Council) has statutory duties set out in the legislation and statutory guidance Working Together 2023 to provide support and protection to vulnerable children. Each Local Authority requires local single agency procedures, policy and practice guidance which is accessible to the social care workforce in their authority to underpin local practice standards.
Whilst this is a separate single agency online procedure manual it must be aligned with and connected to the multi-agency manual provided by the Safeguarding Children Partnership. The contract period is for 2 years, with the option to extend for up to a maximum of 24 months (in 12-month increments).
