Description

Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to understand the level of interest among potential survey providers, as well as to explore what they can offer in terms of examples of past surveys, support to schools, and the ability to develop a survey that aligns with our local needs and priorities. We are in the process of compiling a list of potential providers with the intention of initiating a commissioning process in April 2024.

It is intended that the responses supplied will enable us to develop a business proposal. Any such proposal would be subject to the development and approval of a business case, and, as such, this exercise implies no commercial commitment. This is not a formal tender document.

Participation of 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 19th March 2024 at 12-noon
