Summary of the contracting process
The Adults Advocacy Service tender for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly is currently in the planning stage, initiated by Cornwall Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Truro, United Kingdom. The procurement process, which falls under the services category and specifically addresses health and social work services, seeks to engage the market to inform the recommissioning approach for an upcoming contract period starting on 20th June 2026.
The market engagement will span from 1st August 2025 to 5th December 2025, beginning with a soft market test until 12th September 2025. The engagement process, managed through the Council's e-tendering system via the Proactis portal, aims to gauge interest without committing to a full procurement process or specific procurement method.
Small to medium enterprises with local expertise or innovative solutions in the advocacy sector are particularly well-suited to compete, provided they align with the service goals and regulatory requirements outlined in The Procurement Regulations 2024.
