About

The Scottish Government, Police Scotland and the National Social Work Agency (TBC) are seeking innovative suppliers to deliver technology solutions that enable secure, streamlined multi-agency information sharing for Scotland’s Inter-Agency Referral Discussion (IRD) process. Over 17,000 IRDs took place during 2024-25, and the current process is supported by fragmented IT systems, manual processes and localised records that cause duplication, delays and barriers to information sharing, increasing administrative burden and reducing time available for direct support to children and families. The required solutions should support the existing IRD process and provide real-time local and national data to improve child protection outcomes across Scotland.
