Common Platform Programme Front End Developer Services

Tender description

Why the Work is Being Done Criminal Justice System Common Platform Programme is a change programme to enable the CJS and agencies be more efficient and deliver a better service. For the first time, criminal case information will be kept together in one place. The CJSCPP is part of a wider portfolio of change being delivered by HMCTS under the HMCTS Reform Programme, affecting services in all jurisdictions. Problem to Be Solved Current CJS services are typically supported by paper and hard media based processes which are expensive, subject to frequent delay and often baffling to citizens without legal training. The CJSCPP is designed to develop efficient, proportionate and accessible digital services delivering access to justice via appropriate modern channels. Who Are the Users As a member of the public, Ineed to submit /track my case online, be alerted to changes in status, and access relevant information to enable the case to proceed efficiently. As prosecutor, Ineed to quickly understand the evidence of a case ascertain likelihood of a successful prosecution. As defence practitioner, Ineed to understand the evidence of a case to advise my client. As a member of the judiciary, I need to access all relevant information so that I can make judgement. As another government prosecuting department, I need to submit/transfer the relevant evidence so that HMCTS have all the information. Early Market Engagement Work Already Done The CJSCP Programme has produced the technical foundations for a domain driven micro-service based back end architecture with service model architecture on the front end. These include frameworks and design patterns that new team members will be expected to worth with. Information on this work can be found here https://github.com/CJSCommonPlatform/microservice_framework and here https://github.com/CJSCommonPlatform/govuk_single_page_pdk. The business has identified approximately 35 service/service fragments to be produced and the change planning has taken place with approximately 7 of the services in various stages of completion. Existing Team The current projects all have teams in place. Each existing team comprises; a Delivery Manager, a Technical Lead, a Business Analyst, a User Researcher, a UX/HTML Designer, one or more front end and back end developers and a QA specialist. It is expected that the successful provider will augment some of these teams as well as providing development capabilities for new teams yet to be formed, either to extend the capacity on existing projects, or provide the development capability for the other projects due to start during 2017.
