Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council appointed a supplier to develop a comprehensive, Cabinet-ready business case for Langarth Garden Village. The commission covers strategic, economic, commercial, financial and management case analysis. Its purpose is to support decisions about the village’s future delivery model, governance arrangements, funding strategy, procurement approach and implementation roadmap. This is a professional business consultancy service, within CPV 79000000 (business services including consulting). The work relates to Langarth Garden Village in Cornwall, with Cornwall Council as the buying organisation. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and is relevant to firms providing public-sector business cases, strategic development advice, economic appraisal, commercial and financial modelling, governance design, procurement strategy or programme implementation planning.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. The contract was awarded to Ernst & Young LLP on 8 September 2026 for £295,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 23:59. Cornwall Council used a tender process for the commission; the procurement method is recorded as not applicable. The award is active and covers the full business-case development requirement rather than separately identified lots. The selected supplier is responsible for producing the analysis and recommendations needed for Cabinet decision-making on delivery, governance, funding, procurement and implementation of Langarth Garden Village.

For a supplier assessing future work of this type, the award shows demand from Cornwall Council for a short, senior-level consultancy commission combining strategic development advice with rigorous economic, commercial, financial and management-case analysis. A credible competitor would need to assemble a team able to produce Cabinet-ready business cases, assess alternative delivery models and governance arrangements, develop funding strategies, advise on procurement routes and set out a practical implementation roadmap. Experience of advising public bodies on major place-development or garden-village programmes would be directly relevant, as would the capacity to integrate financial modelling, economic appraisal, commercial structuring and programme planning into one coherent recommendation. The opportunity demonstrates that the council accepts SME participation, although the appointed supplier is a large consultancy.
