## Summary

A procurement process is currently in the planning stage for a contract titled "Specialist Prevention and Intermediate Care," initiated by Cornwall Council. The contract is set to replace three existing service contracts and falls under the industry category of social work services without accommodation. Located in the UK region of UKK30, this process utilises an open procurement method, specifically an open procedure. The procurement is being organised by Cornwall Council, a public authority within the sub-central government, with the responsible contact being Simon Watkins. This planned procurement, valued at a gross amount of £11.4 million, will commence with an expected contract period spanning from 1 March 2027 to 31 March 2030, with potential renewal extending up to 2032. Key dates to note include a future notice date on 3 July 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing social work services without accommodation. Given the substantial contract value and the opportunity to engage in a long-term partnership, businesses that can deliver flexible community outreach and care services could greatly benefit from participating in this procurement. Those capable of providing mental health day support and homeless out-of-hospital care are particularly well-suited to compete for this tender, as the services required aim to empower community independence and care continuity. The open procedure level playing field further encourages a broad range of businesses to participate, thereby expanding their market reach and capability.

## Notice
