South Norfolk Council and Broadland District Council are offering this opportunity to participate in a competitive procedure with negotiation for a cloud-based customer experience platform. Both councils’ delivery plans outline a strategic objective to provide services for residents, businesses and communities that are innovative, efficient and easy to use against a backdrop of reduced funding and tougher economical times. An improved customer offer enabled by digital technology can have a direct impact on our ability to reduce operating costs to serve our customers, absorb growing demand within existing resources and enable greater efficiencies from understanding the end-to-end customer journey whilst enabling customers to interact with us in modern and efficient ways that are convenient to them. East Suffolk Council's Procurement Team is providing procurement support but the Contracting Authority is South Norfolk Council.

Lot Description: The Councils recognise that customer expectations and demands for seamless, efficient services are increasing, but due to the vast array of services offered by local authorities, this has led to disjointed, siloed customer entry points, reduced ability to extract customer insight, inefficient workflow practices, time delays and multiple hand-offs. These elements combined impact the efficiency and cost of operation, as well as the customer experience and interoperability of our technological architecture. The Councils have set themselves an ambition to improve customer experience and have set out to achieve the following as part of this programme of work: Objectives• To create easy to access services for all • To increase first point of contact resolution and keep the customer informed throughout • To use data and insight to benefit the way we work and our customers • To improve internal workflows and case management The Councils are looking to procure a cloud based customer experience platform which would include a customer portal, forms, case management/workflow, integrations and a content management system. We recognise that our platform may / will be made up of more than one technology provided by more than one supplier. We are open to suppliers collaborating in a consortium but prefer to manage the implementation and ongoing relationship through one lead supplier. The Contracting Authority intends to conduct a Competitive procedure with negotiation in accordance with Reg. 29 of the Public Contract Regulations 2015 (as amended) for the procurement of a customer experience platform.East Suffolk Council's Procurement Team is providing procurement support but the Contracting Authority is South Norfolk Council.
