Description

Cheshire East Council has a need to procure a Resource Allocation System (RAS) in order to support its obligations under the Care Act 2014. The Council has documented its functional and non fuctional requirements for a RAS system within an Adult Social Care RAS High Level Requirements Summary Document. The Care Act 2014 requires local authorities to: to assess (or facilitate self-assessment of) all local adults and carers with potential social care needs in fair and consistent way, using a single assessment tool and applying the new national eligibility criteria. To operate a method of allocating a personal budget to all adults and carers who have been deemed as elgibile under the criteria - based upon their assessment of need. To focus on meeting the preferred personal outcomes of eligible adults and carers. The aim of a RAS (Resource Allocation System) is to provide a rational and equitable mechanism for calculating the amount of money that these individuals are likely to need. The system is based upon a mathematical algorithm that determines an appropiate figure (referred to as the indicative budget). The figure is based upon an assessment of that individual's needs within ten different themed areas and an understanding of the local cost of satisfying those needs given the current social care marketplace. Cheshire East Council requires a contract that covers Support, Maintenance, Implementation, Training and Software Licenses.
