Description
The Department for Education (DfE) is procuring up to four Case Management System (CMS) Suppliers to participate in the Alpha phase of the Single Unique Identifier (SUI) programme and the implementation and testing of data standards for Children. The programme forms part of the Government's commitment to improve Multi-Agency Information Sharing (MAIS) and introduce a SUI for children. It will test the use of the NHS Number as a consistent identifier within Children's Social Care (CSC) systems and the adoption of common data and technical standards through existing local authority CMS platforms. The Alpha phase is intended to generate evidence on technical feasibility, implementation effort, onboarding and assurance requirements, operational impacts, delivery costs and supplier readiness to support future national rollout decisions. Suppliers will work with DfE, NHS England and participating local authorities (LA’s) to integrate with the DfE-hosted "Get an Identifier" service, implement agreed data and technical standards, support testing and live operational activity, and provide evidence and lessons learned to inform future policy, technical, operational and commercial decisions.…
