The currently use 4 different IT solutions to deliver their services and would like to test the market to see if there is a 'one IT solution' that will meet all services requirements. The areas that are being focussed on are; Reactive Maintenance - assets, inspections, licensing, works orders and contractor engagement Streetworks Teams - managing all the ETON permits. Street Lighting - assets and works orders. Programme Management - managing large ongoing projects. Works orders - invoicing and re-chargeable repairs. Interactive Mapping - data layers and asset tagging. User Interactions - payments and automated report functionality. There is a big emphasis on mobile working and being able to capture and report information in real time, ie for permits and licensing and seeing what is active and historical information. Currently, teams work with a lot of paper and have to double capture information and a reduction in this is the aim. A full requirements specification is being written and will be released in the Tender process. The Council would like to understand from key providers how these requirements might best be met and is therefore carrying out a soft market testing exercise to engage in early informal dialogue prior to any formal procurement taking place.
