Engagement process description
Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest across the Voluntary, NHS, Independent and Private Sector for the provision of Sexual and Reproductive Health Services across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
It is intended that the responses supplied will enable the Council to develop a business proposal prior to re-commissioning local services. 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 / Supplying the South-West messaging system by midnight 6th June 2025.
A formal provider engagement event is scheduled for 30th June, please save this date in your calendars. It is likely that we will split the event into two or three sessions, but for now please save the day in your calendar.
The engagement questionnaire can be found under Cornwall Council Opportunities on the Supplying The South West portal:
