This procurement initiative seeks to comply with the Procurement Act 2023, enhance existing e-tendering functionalities, and offer central oversight of contract management, including social value management and performance reporting. Located in Truro, UK, Cornwall Council is engaging in a soft market assessment with key input due by 9th July 2025. The procurement is categorised within the software package and information systems industry, indicating a focus on goods procurement. This initiative presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in software and digital solutions to engage with Cornwall Council as it seeks to augment its digital procurement infrastructure. Companies proficient in providing comprehensive e-tendering systems with capabilities for integration with the Central Digital Platform would be well-positioned to compete. The overall project value is estimated at £960,000, providing a lucrative incentive for software firms aiming to expand their client base within the public sector. Moreover, the provision of service desk support as part of the requirements could attract businesses with robust customer support expertise. Businesses should note that the current stage is a market engagement and no formal contract bid is being requested at this stage. ## Notice Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the potential options for a comprehensive E-tendering and Contract Management system.
