P234 - Placement Management Solution

DCP is seeking to engage a Supplier to develop/configure a Placement Management Solution for children and young people under the guardianship of the Chief Executive. The Placement Management solution is to provide ‘real time’ visibility of placement capacity, current occupancy and availability options linked and matched to a child or young person’s personal profile information. The main objective is to increase the percentage of children and young people matched to the most suitable placements.

The Placement Management Solution is split into three functional areas:

i) Placement Matching

ii) Forecasting

iii) Predictive Analytics

Suppliers must demonstrate their ability to meet the full specification of requirement, and provide distinct pricing for each functional area.

DCP reserves the right to contract a Supplier to deliver one or more of the three functional areas and/or stage the implementation. DCP anticipates that a sole Supplier will be engaged.
