Description
The Office of the Child and Youth Advocate (OCYA) is seeking proposals for the development of a new system to replace its aging Legal Appointments and Payment System (LAPS) and Lawyer Self-Serve (LSS) portal. The current legacy systems limit the OCYA's ability to enhance functionality, automate workflows, and meet evolving needs. The project aims to implement a modern, secure platform that streamlines workflows, supports effective counsel engagement, and enables seamless information sharing to improve outcomes for young people. The contract duration is estimated to be 23 months starting from November 2, 2026.
