Yes

proposal to increase the CYPS capacity for residential provision.. This includes a proposal to add a third NWD Hub, a 6 bedded cluster consisting of 3 two bedded homes for the most complex children and conversion of an existing building to provide emergency and unplanned care for children.

A national crisis of limited provision, increased costs, combined with an increase of referrals and children entering care is creating significant demand and service pressure.

To procure and support an enterprise data architecture solution for the council

Yes

Following LGR, the Council inherited a wide range of systems and data solutions, which restrict the Council’s ability to share and leverage value from of the information it holds.

The Council are seeking a flexible platform to deliver data capabilities, e.g. ingestion, transformation, links to corporate presentation tools, governance, etc. This will support immediate tactical benefits around convergence of data, but also longer-term strategic objectives around predictive analytics and the ability to forecast demand on services.
