In plain English
Cafcass, the public body that supports children and families in the family courts, wants to appoint one supplier to monitor Parliament, government, legislation and wider policy developments that could affect its work. The supplier would send alerts and regular updates, with summaries and factual context, and give Cafcass searchable online access to the information. The notice says this is a monitoring and information service, not consultancy or political analysis.
What the buyer wants
• Monitor UK Parliament (House of Commons and House of Lords), relevant government departments and public bodies, legislation, policy, stakeholder activity, consultations, inquiries and calls for evidence, and provide horizon scanning. • Send timely alerts and regular monitoring outputs, preferably by email, with concise summaries and appropriate factual context. • Provide searchable online access to monitoring information through the supplier's platform, plus account management and ongoing refinement of the service.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice asks for one supplier to run a broad monitoring service across Parliament, government and legislation, backed by a searchable online platform and ongoing account management, so a small business without those capabilities would likely be ruled out, although the notice does not set any specific size or certification thresholds.
