GMCA SmartScape Soft Market Testing

Tender description

There are ten councils (Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan) that make up Greater Manchester. Greater Manchester is home to more than 2.7 million people and has an economy larger than that of Wales or Northern Ireland. In 2014 Greater Manchester was granted devolution and the Greater Manchester Combined Authorities (GMCA) was formed. Through devolution GMCA has been given powers to manage health, justice, transport and regeneration locally. With the formation of GMCA and the appointment of a Major, there is a once in a generation opportunity to transform GMCA Children’s Services. A key enabler for transformation will be the use of technology as a foundational lever for change. GMCA seeks to enhance, expand and develop data sharing across the local authorities and partners through the use of technology. GMCA are mindful that the local authorities within Greater Manchester and their partners have made multi-million-pound investments in technology and so are not looking to replace existing functionality. The proposed solution will provide an integrated, holistic “single view” of a child, their family and their home, initially for the Child Sexual Exploitation teams in the Wigan and Rochdale localities. This solution is being named Smartscape to differentiate the conceptual solution from any sole commercial product. Please express your interest via the The Chest by Monday 9th October if you are capable of providing this solution. If you would like to ask further questions before expressing an interest for this project, we are scheduling two Provider Day sessions (AM and PM) on the 5th October.
