## Description

The purpose of the tender will be to build a new database solution to administer Statutory Plant Health Notices \(SPHN\)\. The solution will include initially the five big pests and diseases but will need to be scalable to incorporate others in the future\. Our current access database is not fit for purpose - it does not support data capture workflows for all five big pests and diseases\. The SPHN Management solution will be made up of the following components - combination of workflow, geospatial elements, case management, document generation, reporting and dashboard and server capabilities\. Our solution will integrate ESRI and Microsoft components - ESRI components will be developed in house with Inventory, Forecasting and Operational Support \(IFOS\) - \(ArcGIS and Forester products\) - we do not need external contractors for this element\. The Microsoft components will be developed with external specialists, and internally with our IT Team who manage our Microsoft tenancy The overall solution and integration will be developed with development and integration specialist contractors\. We therefore want to hear from contractors who have specialist skills and experience in the Microsoft components as well as the integration\. We would like to start by building a prototype to test and validate the design, functionality and overall concept before we go ahead with full-scale development\. We want to work with an external specialist who will develop an early, simplified version of the proposed solution and work with us all the way through to the full solution going live\.
