## Summary

CORMAC Solutions Ltd, a wholly owned company of Cornwall Council, has initiated a tender titled "Strategic Partnership for Engineering and Technical Services Framework." This procurement is targeted at the architectural, engineering, and surveying services sector, specifically focusing on civil engineering and environmental design support. The contract is set to commence on 1st April 2017 and is planned for an initial duration of 24 months, with options for two 12-month extensions, allowing for a maximum period of four years. The procurement is currently at the award stage, following the tender period that ended on 22nd December 2016, with an estimated annual value ranging from £250,000 to £3,000,000, subject to potential participation from additional organisations. All services will be delivered within the South West region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in engineering and technical consultancy services, particularly those specialising in civil, structural, and environmental engineering. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the framework aims to develop a partnership with a single external service provider to bolster existing in-house capabilities. Companies that provide urban planning, surveying, engineering design, and related technical services would be particularly well-suited for this contract. Given the potential total value exceeding the estimated range with broader public sector participation, this tender could facilitate substantial business growth for the successful bidder.
