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 systems manage child information, lawyer rosters, appointments, payments, training, and reporting but are limited by legacy design constraints. The project aims to implement a modern, secure platform that streamlines workflows, financial processing, and information sharing to improve outcomes for young people and enhance service delivery. The new system will support effective counsel engagement and reduce operational inefficiencies caused by manual processes and email coordination.
