A credible provider would need a working platform that can automate these administrative tasks and support the production of case records and assessments, with a clear contribution to reducing manual record-keeping. The selected supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a supplier of this scale was able to deliver the requirement. The route used was a framework call-off, so experience supplying through an appropriate framework would be commercially relevant when competing for this specific type of council requirement.
