Bramble Hub and our partner Infoshare+ are supplying ClearCore, Infoshare+’s data cleaning and matching software, to four Welsh local authorities in the Gwent Regional Partnership: Monmouthshire, Blaenau Gwent, Newport, and Torfaen.

The ClearCore product family provides software technology to cleanse, enrich and match data from disparate sources and transform it into a single view. The four councils will be using it to provide a single view of children across their areas. The project aims to identify children in need of support as quickly as possible, enabling more timely and effective interventions to improve outcomes for vulnerable children.

The joint project has been coordinated by the Shared Resource Service, a collaborative enterprise in South Wales that provides technology services to the public sector.

The contract was awarded via the Vertical Application Solutions framework (VAS) from Crown Commercial Service, with Bramble Hub being the prime contractor.

Shanice Rostampour, Partner Manager at Bramble Hub, said:
"We are proud to be supplying the ClearCore solution, with which local authorities can be more certain about the accuracy of their complex and critical datasets. Via our position on a number of key IT procurement frameworks, we allow cutting-edge technology partners like Infoshare+ to supply their products across the UK public sector."

Steve Thorn, Executive Chair at Infoshare+, said:
“SRS are leading the way in demonstrating how public sector organisations can work together to leverage data for public good and create better outcomes for citizens. The infrastructure they’re building enables all partners to safely and securely collaborate, and I’m proud that Infoshare+’s ClearCore technology plays such a crucial role. We’re privileged to be part of such a collaborative initiative that is going to make a real difference for communities within a matter of months.”

Matt Lewis, Chief Operating Officer at SRS, added:
"The solution we were seeking had to be scalable to support the ambitious goals of these authorities to expand their collaborative use of data and continually improve services. Infoshare+’s ClearCore stands out as a powerful, evidence-based tool, proven to produce reliable Single Views from complex and large volume datasets. It’s the perfect fit for this transformative project, which will grow and evolve from day one and improve the lives of our youngest and most vulnerable residents."
