The brief

This is a Notice of Award for: CR: Case Management Systems (CMS) Improvement.

Department for Education are looking for a provider to enhance the development and use of case management systems (CMS) in children's social care to enable social workers to spend more time with families.

Departmental research has concluded that technology used by social workers to record their work with children, support social workers in their day-to-day work, and collect statutory and local data could be improved or standardised.

Whilst local authorities are responsible for funding and managing their digital estate, the department made a commitment in the recent Stable Homes, Built on Love strategy to improve case management systems to enable social workers to spend more time directly with children and families.

To deliver this work, it is recognised that the successful bidder will need to work closely with the department, local authorities, other agencies involved in safeguarding, sector experts and membership bodies as well as current providers of case management systems to build a set of standards which can be applied across any Case Management Systems currently being used by social workers at an LA level.
