The ODPM is developing a National Directory of SP Services and Providers.
This will represent an electronic gateway that will further enhance the SP strategy and its procurement activities.
The Directory will provide a comprehensive repository of SP services and their costs and will enable more accurate matching of client‘s needs to provider services to ensure that vulnerable people receive the RIGHT SUPPORT in the RIGHT PLACE at the RIGHT TIME.
The Directory will be created by combining the local SPLS data sets. These will be delivered to a central point via the upload suite. In order to protect confidential and sensitive information, some data items will be removed from the Directory as part of the data loading process.
