• We are applying for funding to (a) deliver a comprehensive business requirements scoping exercise and (b) the development of a software application specification to deliver those requirements, with the aim of replacing the increasingly out-dated and hugely inefficient data capture and management processes for carer assessment, support, caseload management and our interim Carers Act census database. We will then aim to procure software solutions to deliver the specification with an appropriate budget from other sources. • We need to develop a common Information framework that works to support (a) the Glasgow specific Carers Support Services GCHSCP contract monitoring and evaluation requirements that can be used across all 7 geographical and helpline contract lots, (b) our Carers Act census obligations, (c) caseload management and carer support (CRM) administrative procedure efficiency needs, (d) efficient carer break/respite funding support CRM functions, (e) effective data control, consent, privacy and protection requirements, and (f) interaction with statutory information systems. • We are applying on behalf of the Third Sector partners (including Volunteer Glasgow) of the Glasgow City Carers Partnership and with the approval of the Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (GCHSCP). • It is essential that (a) the business requirements scoping exercise is effectively facilitated, robust and comprehensive and (b) the specification process is conducted by someone independent of any potential suppliers but with the appropriate technical and customer service expertise: the section below refers to the proposed details of these processes.
