Description
Cornwall Council is conducting a Soft Market Test (SMT) as part of preliminary market engagement to inform the potential development of a time‑limited Tenancy Academy pilot. The engagement will gather structured feedback from providers on delivery models, outcomes and measurement approaches, risks, scalability, and indicative costs. This will support the design of the service specification, performance framework, and commercial approach for any future procurement. Interested organisations are invited to review the SMT document and submit responses using the structured template provided via the ProContract (Due North) system by the stated deadline 29th July 2026. A direct link to the project can be found here: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c3d7fec0-046f-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 This engagement is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition. Participation will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process. All information will be handled transparently and in accordance with procurement regulations. The Council may use the findings to inform any subsequent procurement, which would be advertised separately via the central digital platform.
