The initiative, part of the Council's Housing Development Programme, is in the planning stage, with important milestones such as the engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. This assessment is aimed at understanding market opportunities and gathering insights on potential partner organisations. The relevant industry category includes Real Estate Services and Construction Work, and the focus is within the South West region of England. This tender presents significant opportunities for property developers, construction firms, and housing management agencies looking to expand their market presence. Businesses with expertise in the construction of residential properties and those providing management services for both affordable and private rental homes would be particularly well-suited to compete for this opportunity. Companies that can demonstrate a solid understanding of local housing needs and community-focused development initiatives will likely resonate with the Council's objectives to meet housing demand while supporting local communities. ## Notice Cornwall Council Soft Market Test for a Joint Venture Partner for: -- The construction of 1 000 homes; and -- The sales and marketing of a proportion of these homes, and -- The management of the affordable and market rental homes.

Cornwall Council's Housing Development Programme aims to deliver 1 000 new homes over the period 2017 - 2022, within key towns in Cornwall. The Council is seeking to provide an affordable, secure alternative offer for those in the private rented sector, those in housing need, and for those that want to stay within their local community. The aim is to provide housing that is supported by the community for the community. The Council would like to undertake a soft market assessment to identify and better understand the market opportunities for progressing this initiative through a Joint Venture (JV) arrangement. Homes developed through the programme will include a range of tenures including properties for open market sale, and affordable homes to rent. The focus however is on market rental properties. Both affordable and private rented properties will require management and landlord services.
