## Summary

The procurement process titled "Prevention Services Provider/Supplier Networking Sessions," initiated by Cornwall Council, is currently in the planning stage.

The engagement end date for interested parties to participate is set for 30th April 2019. The expected value of the contracts totals £5,000,000, and the procurement is intended to follow a Competitive Procedure, focusing on social work services without accommodation and related community services.
