## Summary

The Cornwall Council has initiated a planning stage tender titled "Market Test for Future Private Lettings Opportunity" in the Real estate services category. The tender involves a soft market assessment to gauge interest in providing settled accommodation services in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The engagement end date for this tender is set for December 15, 2023. Interested parties can participate by submitting their responses by the specified deadline.

This tender by Cornwall Council presents an opportunity for businesses operating in the voluntary, charity, social lettings, independent, and private sectors to showcase their capabilities in providing settled accommodation services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are particularly encouraged to participate. The soft market assessment aims to inform the Council's business proposal development, with no commercial commitment at this stage, ensuring suppliers' participation will not affect future procurement opportunities.

## Notice

Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest across the Voluntary, charity, social lettings, Independent and private sectors for the provision of settled accommodation through Assured Short-hold tenancy between tenants and private landlords. The clients for these services would be those in temporary accommodation, owed a prevention, relief duty, rough sleepers and former rough sleepers. As well as those who are threatened with homelessness under notice. It is intended that the responses supplied will enable the Council to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment. This is not a formal tender document. Participation of this soft market assessment will not prejudice suppliers participating in any future procurement. If you are interested in this area of service provision and also helping with our assessment of the market, please complete the "Information Required" section at the end of this notice along with any additional information you consider to be relevant and return this via the Due North system by 15.12.23 at 3pm Please find the documentation using the following link: https://procontract.due-north.com/Supplier/Advert/View?advertId=c50064d9-e08a-ee11-8125-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=False&fromRfxSummary=False&selectWorkgroup=False&fromAdvertEvent=False&fromActivityDashboard=False
