Cadent is seeking information from the market to understand available Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) SaaS solutions that can support both Enterprise Risk Management and Cyber Risk Management, as well as Internal Audit management. The purpose of this RfI / ROM is to explore supplier capability, solution fit, indicative implementation approach and timescales, licensing model, integration options, migration requirements and high-level ROM costs for a single GRC solution. The solution is expected to support the management of risks, controls, assurance activities (2nd line controls and 3rd line internal audits) issues, actions, exceptions, audits and reporting across Enterprise Risk Management and Cyber Risk Management. Cadent is particularly interested in understanding how suppliers can support a joined-up risk and control framework, aligned to Cadent’s governance structure and Three Lines Model, while also supporting key standards and regulatory frameworks such as NIS Regulations, CAF / eCAF, NIST 800-53, ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials+ and MITRE ATT&CK.

Reprocurement of Control Room Technology Support Services

Warwickshire County Council is exploring the potential commissioning of a Social Care Provider Relationship Management Tool to strengthen how the Council engages with, understands and manages its local social care provider market. The Council works with a wide range of social care providers across different service areas, including regulated and non-regulated provision. Effective provider relationship management is essential to supporting market sustainability, understanding provider capacity and pressures, improving communication, monitoring risks, and ensuring that commissioned services continue to meet local needs and statutory responsibilities. At present, information about providers, quality, performance, risks, engagement activity and market intelligence may be held across different systems, teams and processes. This can make it more difficult to maintain a single, consistent view of provider relationships and to use information proactively to support commissioning, contract management, quality assurance and market shaping activity. The Council is therefore interested in understanding whether there are digital tools available that could help provide a more coordinated, efficient and intelligence-led approach to provider relationship management. This may include functionality such as provider records, contact management, engagement logs, risk and issue tracking, quality and performance information, market intelligence, reporting, dashboards, and integration with existing Council systems where appropriate. The purpose of this preliminary market engagement is to understand the range of solutions available, how they are currently being used in social care or comparable sectors, the extent to which they could meet the Council’s requirements, likely implementation considerations, support models, interoperability, data security arrangements, and indicative costs. This engagement will help the Council assess the maturity of the market, identify potential delivery options, understand any risks or constraints, and inform whether a future procurement exercise would be appropriate.

THIS IS NOT A CALL FOR COMPETITION. THIS IS A MARKET ENGAGEMENT. Shropshire Council is currently reviewing its future approach to universal mental health prevention and early-help support. As one part of this review, the Council wishes to understand the range of digital mental health prevention and emotional wellbeing models currently available, their evidence base, accessibility, affordability and potential applicability to Shropshire. This engagement does not indicate that the Council has decided to recommission a digital service. Findings will inform a wider options appraisal alongside local needs evidence, review of current provision, stakeholder engagement and consideration of alternative approaches. The overarching aim is to ensure that residents with low-level mental health or emerging wellbeing needs can access timely, appropriate support that helps prevent escalation into more complex need and reduces avoidable demand on statutory services. Digital support is being considered as part of a wider suite of accessible offers that may include social prescribing, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) provision and community-based support. Any future model will need to take account of Shropshire’s rurality and the diverse needs, preferences and circumstances of local residents, alongside local system priorities, strategies and policies. Strategic context Mental health and wellbeing are central to quality of life, resilience and the ability to participate in education, work, family life and communities. Good mental wellbeing is also protective against physical illness, social inequalities and unhealthy lifestyles. Demand for mental health support has increased significantly, particularly among children and young people, many of whom experience long waits for care. Nationally, around one in five people are affected by a common mental health condition, and a substantial proportion of mental health problems are established by early adulthood (age 24). This reinforces the importance of prevention and early intervention. Providing timely support for people with low-level mental health needs can help people manage distress earlier, maintain independence and stay connected to education, work, family life and their communities. The emerging national direction for mental health in England also places greater emphasis on shifting from crisis-led care towards prevention, delivering support at place and within communities, and embracing the opportunities offered by digital innovation. The future offer in Shropshire should therefore support earlier, proportionate and accessible help, while complementing wider local mental health, wellbeing and community support pathways. Current service context Shropshire Council currently commissions a digital mental health and emotional wellbeing offer for residents aged 16+, providing anonymous online access to moderated peer support, self-management resources and learning tools. The current arrangement provides a limited number of licenses annually. The Council is not necessarily seeking a like-for-like replacement through this engagement and is interested in understanding alternative digital models, approaches and innovations that could achieve preventative and early-help outcomes. The Council is interested in understanding features that; Are accessible without diagnosis or clinical referral Supports people experiencing emerging mental ill health or reduced emotional wellbeing Encourages self-management and early-help Provides safe onward escalation where necessary Is accessible across a large rural geography Can reach groups that may not engage with traditional services Is capable of generating meaningful information about reach, utilisation and outcomes to support review of impact and best value discussions

Shropshire Council is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to understand the current market for digital solutions that support unpaid carers. This engagement will help inform the Council’s future commissioning approach before any decision is made about whether to tender, use an existing compliant route, develop an alternative model, or take no further procurement action. Shropshire Council has an established Unpaid Carer Support offer. Recently this has become an all-age offer supporting Young Carers and Parent Carers. The Unpaid Carers portal will be an online offer which will be available to Unpaid Carers 24/7 throughout the journey of their caring role. We are aware there are a large proportion of people who do not identify as an Unpaid Carer, we envisage the portal will support with that identification and will provide relevant up to date information to support families in a preventative manner. Any proposed solution should offer the following support: Increase the identification recognition and early interventions for unpaid Carers Delay and reduce the need to access high-cost statutory provision Improve accessibility to information, advice and guidance, improve links and signposting to services that are already available nationally, regionally and locally. Support Unpaid Carers to access self-help and self-management support to reduce the need for Unpaid Carers crisis interventions. Include access to Unpaid Carers 'self-assessment' focused on individualised outcomes The solution should have the capacity to collect and produce relative data regarding demographics, ethnicity, age range as well as information such as when and where the portal is accessed.

Warwickshire County Council ("the Council") is undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to explore the provision of a digital pocket money solution to support children and young people in its care, including those placed in residential children's homes. The Council currently operates a range of locally managed, predominantly cash-based processes to administer pocket money and personal funds. While these arrangements are functional, they present challenges in relation to financial control, auditability, safeguarding oversight, and administrative efficiency, as well as consistency of practice across different settings. As part of its wider finance transformation and digitalisation agenda, the Council is seeking to understand the market for secure, user-friendly solutions that can: • Improve financial governance and transparency, including full audit trails and reporting • Strengthen safeguarding arrangements, ensuring appropriate use of funds and oversight by carers and the corporate parent • Reduce manual administration and cash handling risks • Provide a simple, accessible user experience for children, young people, and staff • Enable scalable, standardised processes across multiple homes and cohorts The Council is particularly interested in solutions such as prepaid cards, digital wallets, or app-based platforms that are suitable for use in regulated care environments and can operate within a local authority control framework. This PME exercise is intended to: • Understand available solutions, delivery models, and levels of market maturity • Inform the Council's requirements, specification, and procurement strategy • Identify potential risks, implementation considerations, and dependencies • Assess supplier appetite and innovation opportunities This exercise does not represent a commitment to procure any solution at this stage. However, the information gathered will directly inform a future business case and any subsequent procurement activity, with a focus on achieving best value, compliance, and improved outcomes for children and young people.
