SPOCC is recognized in independent evaluations by Supporting People (SP) consultants as the leading system for managing Supporting People contracts, administration, services, budgeting and benchmark services to improve value for money.
It boasts a powerful payments and contracts engine for calculating and recovering payments from service providers and allows providers to:
- manage contracts
- manage service details and service vacancies
- access and download their payments schedules
- manage details of clients receiving services
- upload service monitoring data and key performance indicators
The software meets requirements set by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). It pulls information from existing local authority finance, housing, benefits, social care and MHCLG systems into a central base of information.
The software emerged out of the SPOCC group, a consortium of 13 councils who collaborated on the implementation of the Supporting People Initiative. Over 40 local authorities now use the software.
