How Proactis helped
The Council fully recognised the challenges involved. Health and social care provision was entirely different to sourcing everyday goods and services. A deep understanding and expertise was required to find a solution that could help increase transparency and fairness in the marketplace, encouraging care homes and service providers to work more closely with the Council.
Proactis was able to tailor its solution to meet the precise needs of staff, service users and providers - from how to specify requirements, to publishing electronic documents, scoring responses and awarding contracts. The Council could also advertise placements to approved providers who were registered on a Dynamic Approved Provider List (DAPL) in Proactis. Within three months, over 100 care providers were registered and over 170 opportunities were advertised.
