The council documented its functional and non-functional requirements for a RAS system within an Adult Social Care RAS High Level Requirements Summary Document for a provider to provide the solution, ongoing support and servicing the solution for 3 years (including implementation time). The contracting authority considered that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SME's). For the avoidance of doubt, the contracting authority pointed out that no weight will be attached to whether or not an economic operator is an SME in selecting economic operators to submit tenders or in assessing the most economically advantageous tender.
