## Summary

Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market test for "Health and Social Care Prevention Services" as part of its strategic commissioning intentions, designed to bolster wellbeing and support independence over the next four years. The procurement process is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for responses due by 30 April 2018. The total estimated value for the contracts is approximately £5.84 million.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that focus on health and social care services.
