To award the contract for a specialist,
“off the peg legal case management system” to the
successful contractor, following a tender and evaluation
process.
This is a new project designed to assist the Legal Services Team in
being able to undertake its work with a consistently increasing
workload, in continuing to support teams across the Council and to
provide business resilience.
To award the supply of a legal case management
system to the highest scoring tender, Iken Business Ltd from a date
to be agreed but as soon after 1 April 2023 as is possible for a
three year period.
The option of having an in-house system
developed has been considered. However, it is clear from a number
of discussions that the development would require considerable
officer time from both the IT teams and the Legal Services team.
Any such system would not only require access to it via TDC’s
network, but would also require training in its use, ongoing
development, maintenance works, upgrades or tweaks to the system to
ensure both its security, and accessibility for the legal services
officers.
