Decisions

As an essential requirement, each partner of Orbis Public Law (OPL) currently has a legal case management system in place.The rationale for combining the four individual databases into one, is therefore clear as it will provide considerable operational benefits, eliminate duplicated system management tasks and result in a reduction of the time, cost and resources required to operate four individual systems.

Civica is the current provider of this system to all four partners and Prescient Plus is the leading legal case management system available in the Local Authority market. OPL is happy that the system’s functionality remains fit for purpose and that the contract performance of Civica is of a high standard. Therefore as a best-for-business decision, OPL do not see the need to pursue any alternatives to the current system at this time.

It was decided that the tender should be directly awarded to Civica under the Crown Commercial Service LASA Framework (Option 1)
