Description

We are seeking to procure a Coaching and Mentoring Platform and a contract of 30 Months, consisting of a 6 Month build time and 24 Months license coverage of the system in the NHS for a period covering 01 October 2021 - 01 March 2024. As a minimum, the system should have:

• Experience in delivering custom functional web solutions, an off-the-shelf platform or open-source Content Management System.
• Optional diversity and Inclusion (equality monitoring) questions. The answers given are never shared outside their defined purpose and anonymised and used to produce aggregate D&I statistics for the Authority.
• System's matching process. Algorithm used to produce a 'best match' by profile questions asked of the coach/mentor and a corresponding 'matching preference' question is asked of the coachee/mentee. Responses most closely matched to score most highly. Facilitating an informed decision around best matched relationship.
• Administration area provides a top level 'dashboard' overview in real time of the system activity and a reporting area where administrators can generate several reports regarding system usage, relationship activity and evaluation.
• Ease of interface, simple use is essential in ensuring the successful take-up of and continuing engagement with a system. Accessible for all users.
• Coaching and mentoring by nature is confidential, demonstration and commitment to security and data protection of our systems is taken extremely seriously.
• Offer advice and practical support to employers around the use of the system.
