Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council is currently in the planning stage of a soft market test for a hosted energy management database, aiming to gauge the potential level of interest for software solutions in energy and related services. This initiative falls under the industry category of energy services and is set in England, United Kingdom. The procurement process has been initiated as a tender, and interested parties have until the engagement end date of 30th June 2025 to express their interest. With a projected contract value of £150,000, this procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses within the specified category.

This tender provides an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to offer their expertise in energy data monitoring and management solutions.

The soft market assessment allows businesses to engage early with Cornwall Council, potentially leading to business growth through establishing a local presence within Cornwall and fostering relationships with one of England’s prominent councils. Companies that can provide innovative solutions tailored to the energy management needs of Cornwall will find this tender aligns well with their service offerings.
