Description

Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the level of interest in the market for the delivery of a new programme of work aimed to engage people aged over 50 who are moving from work into retirement in formal volunteering opportunities as a way to support their health and wellbeing. This programme will support the development of public sector volunteering for this age group and develop opportunities that meet their needs, as well as identifying and addressing barriers experienced by underserved populations to encourage volunteering in this population.

It is intended that the responses supplied will enable the Council to further develop the specification. This is not a formal tender document.

Participation in this soft market assessment will not prejudice suppliers participating in any future procurement.

If you are interested in this area of service provision and also helping with our assessment of the market, please complete the "Information Required" section at the end of this notice along with any additional information you consider to be relevant and return this via the Due North system by 12noon Wednesday 14th February 2024.
