Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council is undertaking a planning stage public procurement process for the "TFF - VCSE Grants Scheme - Umbrella Organisation - Soft Market Test," which aims to enhance engagement within the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to support the Together for Families Programme. The total contract value is £400,000 and the location of service delivery is in the South West region of the United Kingdom. Key dates include the engagement end date set for 23rd October 2018. This process is currently classified under the Health and Social Work Services category.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on social services and community welfare solutions, particularly those experienced in working with hard-to-reach families. Those suitable to compete include larger entities capable of managing substantial grants, as the call is not specifically designed for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or VCSEs. Engaging in this early market test might enable businesses to align their offerings with the needs identified by Cornwall Council, thus enhancing their potential for success in future tendering processes.
