This initiative falls under the industry categories of research and development services, health and social work services, and other community, social, and personal services. The total budget for this project is set at £300,000, with the contract period starting from 11 September 2018 until 31 March 2020. The procurement will be conducted through Bloom, a neutral vendor solution, with tender documentation expected to be available by 16 June 2018. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in consultancy and development services, particularly those focused on social work and community initiatives. Suppliers experienced in setting up and managing volunteer programs, community engagement, and social services would be well-suited to compete for this contract. The inclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in the suitability criteria presents an advantageous position for local companies looking to expand their operations in the public sector. ## Notice Cornwall Council is searching for a development partner to help it create a new system of 'Time Credits' for a cohort of vulnerable adults. Time Credits are a form of Time Banking. They are a proven means of encouraging people with complex needs to engage in volunteering and social action as part of building their confidence and social networks. We are looking for an experienced supplier to support the setup, development and growth of a local Time Credits model as well as the recruitment and training of a local Time Credits Co-ordinator who will oversee day to day operational management of the project. Our plan is to develop a model that will support active citizenship and community resilience through providing accessible volunteering opportunities for some of our most vulnerable people. The Council is looking to use its arrangement with Bloom (previously called NEPRO), to source a development partner who can help us implement this approach locally. Tender documentation about this opportunity will go live via Bloom by the 16th June. Bloom is a private limited company that sources, appoints and manages consultancy and specialist professional service suppliers for the UK public sector. The decision to use Bloom to find a Time Credits development partner follows from the Council's recent decision to award a brokerage contract with Bloom to source third party consultants.
