ANALYSIS PREVIEW

Opportunity intelligence at a glance

Cornwall Council is running an early-stage soft market test for potential providers of independent mobility assessments for Blue Badge applications. This is not a tender and creates no commercial commitment; supplier responses will inform a possible business case and future procurement.

Who this may suit

Potentially relevant to organisations that deliver independent mobility or functional assessments for Blue Badge eligibility. Participation is voluntary market engagement, not a bid.
