## Summary

The Worcestershire County Council is currently conducting a procurement process for a contract titled "Rapid Application Development System," aimed at developing applications using a Rapid Application Platform (RAD).

The services are classified under the development software category, with a contract period beginning on 14th April 2020 and ending on 31st March 2023. Interested parties must submit their tenders by the deadline of 10th March 2020 via Worcestershire County Council's Intend system, located in Worcester, United Kingdom.
