    Brief

    This opportunity seeks to develop or procure an Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) solution to enhance Acas Early Conciliation services. The solution should improve claimant understanding of the conciliation process, enhance the quality and completeness of notifications, and reduce operational demand on Acas staff. Key features may include pre-notification guidance to set expectations, intelligent form validation to ensure data accuracy, dynamic user support tailored to individual claimant needs, and workflow automation to streamline processes. The solution must integrate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 and other existing enterprise systems. During the Alpha phase, suppliers will evaluate multiple implementation approaches including building a custom solution, configuring an existing platform, or purchasing a commercial off-the-shelf product. This is an opportunity to shape the future delivery model for dispute resolution services.
