    "description": "The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. The Council is keen to ensure that the procurement is open to a wide market and that there is genuine competition. The resources and range of services needed for the joint venture are such that the Council understands that it may receive applications from either a single organisation or organisations that may wish to collaborate to form a consortium (either by forming a separate legal entity or in unincorporated grouping). Please note the estimated contract value is based on an assumed turnover of the facility over the contract term.
