The Leicester-Shire e-Government partnership has selected Cintra UK Ltd, a leading supplier of e-Government software solutions, to supply its e-Portal solution, The Leicestershire Gateway.
The project will benefit members of the Leicester-Shire e-Government partnership, which includes Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council and the seven district councils. The primary aims of the Gateway initiative are to provide the public with one-stop access to location-based information, a 'joined-up' A to Z services index and in the future, the ability to communicate or make web-based 'transactions' with local authorities and other public agencies such as voluntary sector services. As well as creating a Leicestershire portal, by making use of web services technology, the project allows each of the partners to integrate the Gateway functionality within their own site.
