## Summary

Cornwall Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process to acquire services for Registered Children's Homes, targeting the health and social work services industry category. This initiative is set in Truro, Cornwall, part of the United Kingdom, with specific engagements scheduled at the Health & Wellbeing Innovation Centre on 24th and 25th March 2026. Interested providers must register by email to attend these events. The procurement, worth £33 million, employs a light-touch regime and is above the procurement threshold. The upcoming communication notice is scheduled for 1st June 2026, with the contract period expected to commence on 1st September 2026, concluding on 31st August 2034. The process is overseen by Christine Stone, who serves as the contact point for Cornwall Council.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). These businesses would benefit from engaging with Cornwall Council, a sub-central government authority, in establishing children's residential care services. Given the project's high monetary value and extended contract duration, it provides a stable platform for service providers to expand and solidify their presence in the health and social work sector. Participating in this procurement could enhance business credibility and market reach across the UK, leveraging Cornwall Council's strategic location and administrative backing.
