Summary of the contracting process

Cornwall Council is commissioning Resilience, Inclusion, Strengths and Enablement (RISE) services for adults in Cornwall with support needs related to homelessness, mental health, drug or alcohol use, neurodivergence or learning disabilities. This is a social work and support service without accommodation. The requirement covers short-term, trauma-informed prevention and enablement work to help people find and sustain a home, build practical life skills, improve wellbeing, develop emotional resilience and strengthen their connections with local communities. The service will be delivered in Cornwall, with Cornwall Council as the public-sector buyer. It is intended for organisations providing adult support, prevention, housing-related enablement, wellbeing or community integration services.

The procurement has reached tender: Cornwall Council invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure with two submission stages. Stage 1 covers compliance, a project-specific questionnaire and financial standing on a pass-or-fail basis; providers that pass proceed to Stage 2. Evaluation is weighted 60% quality, 30% price and 10% social value. Questions had to be submitted by 9 October 2026 at 17:00, and offers by 16 October 2026 at 17:00. The award decision is due by 28 December 2026 at 23:59. The initial contract is from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend by two years to 31 March 2032. The estimated value is £16,529,000 including VAT.

This opportunity suits small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises with established adult support or enablement services. Providers should be able to deliver trauma-informed work with people experiencing homelessness, mental health difficulties, drug or alcohol use, neurodivergence or learning disabilities, and demonstrate practical outcomes in housing stability, life skills, wellbeing, resilience and community connection. CQC accreditation is required, together with evidence of relevant contracts. Bidders also need sufficient financial standing to pass the first-stage assessment and the capacity to deliver a multi-year service across Cornwall. Strong method statements will be particularly important because quality is the largest part of the evaluation, alongside credible pricing and measurable social value commitments.
