This initiative is classified under the industry category of "Other community, social and personal services" and aims to deliver services within the UK, specifically in Cornwall. The engagement period is scheduled from 29th October 2025 to 17th November 2025, serving as a precursor to informing a business proposal for potential commissioning. The process is above the threshold with a total gross value of £12,000,000. Interested parties are advised to prepare for a tentative future notice scheduled for 19th January 2026. This procurement opportunity offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in social and community services, particularly those capable of creating innovative supported accommodation solutions. It is suited for entities across the Voluntary, NHS, Independent, and Private sectors that can develop Ofsted registered facilities and adapt to varying support needs through diverse accommodation styles such as shared houses and cluster models. SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find this opportunity particularly beneficial given the potential for contract renewal over an initial period starting in September 2026 and extending through August 2031, with a possible extension to 2033. ## Notice Cornwall Council recognise the need to develop more Ofsted registered supported accommodation services to meet capacity demands, alongside a greater range of supported accommodation services that can meet the more diverse support needs of some young people through alternative styles of accommodation such as shared houses and self-contained units in a cluster model. Cornwall Council is undertaking a soft market assessment to explore the level of interest from providers across the Voluntary, NHS, Independent, and Private sectors in delivering Ofsted Registered Young People's Supported Accommodation services for 16/17 year olds within Cornwall. ### Planning Information The engagement period will commence on Wednesday 29th October 2025 and will end at 12 noon on Monday, 17th November 2025. After this period, documentation will be reviewed: This exercise is intended to inform the development of a business proposal ahead of any potential commissioning of local services. Responses will help shape our understanding of the market and guide future service design. Please note, this is not a formal tender and does not represent any commercial commitment. Any costings or service models shared will be treated as indicative and used solely to support strategic planning. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/070678-2025 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 4 Nov 2025 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 19 Jan 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Aug 2026 - 31 Aug 2031 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,440,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CORNWALL COUNCIL | | Locality | TRURO | | Post town | Truro | | Postcode | TR1 3AY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK3 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | ITL 3 | TLK30 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly | | Local authority | Cornwall | | Electoral ward | Truro Boscawen & Redannick | | Westminster constituency | Truro and Falmouth | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 4 Nov 2025 at 09:30 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/070678-2025 - 29 Oct 2025 at 12:40 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069346-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/070678-2025 4th November 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/069346-2025 29th October 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - http://www.cornwall.gov.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
