FOI Request 2056

Subject: Software Tool for Risk Information Collection

Status: Complete

Date received: October 2024

Question Asked:

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act regarding the software tool used by your service for the collection of risk information.  For reference, I understand that many Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) in the UK are using CFRMIS by Civica.

Specifically, I would like to request the following details:

1. The name of the supplier providing the software services.

2. The total contract value for these services.

3. The contract start date.

4. The contract end date.

Our Response:

The system/software we use for management; monitoring and reporting of our risk registers is a ‘in house’ system Cheshire Planning System (CPS).  This system is developed and owned by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service and therefore no contracts in relation to service provision are required.  The only cost incurred are ongoing system development/improvement costs which are built into our normal IT annual budget management and planning arrangements.

Outcome: Data Not Held

FOI responded to within timescales: YES

Further action: NO
