What is being bought

Cornwall Council is exploring the delivery of a time-limited Tenancy Academy pilot to support tenancy sustainment, prevent homelessness, and reduce demand on temporary accommodation and housing services. The pilot will test targeted education and skills-based interventions for households at risk of tenancy breakdown, including those in temporary accommodation preparing to move on and tenants in the social and private rented sectors. Delivery is expected to be flexible and cohort-based, focused on improving financial capability, tenancy knowledge, and tenant-landlord relationships. The pilot will generate evidence on cost, effectiveness, outcomes, and value for money to inform future service design and commissioning decisions. The estimated value provided is indicative only for the purpose of publishing this preliminary engagement notice.The Council is using this Soft Market Test to inform the scale, design, and potential value of any future opportunity. A confirmed contract value has not yet been established.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training services (80500000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 802,4793 median · 39.8 average (794 of 2,479 with a bid count)3.7 average (883 of 2,479 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

Cornwall Council is conducting a Soft Market Test (SMT) as part of preliminary market engagement to inform the potential development of a time‑limited Tenancy Academy pilot. The engagement will gather structured feedback from providers on delivery models, outcomes and measurement approaches, risks, scalability, and indicative costs. This will support the design of the service specification, performance framework, and commercial approach for any future procurement. Interested organisations are invited to review the SMT document and submit responses using the structured template provided via the ProContract (Due North) system by the stated deadline 29th July 2026. A direct link to the project can be found here: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=c3d7fec0-046f-f111-813c-005056b64545&p=696a9836-1895-e511-8105-000c29c9ba21 This engagement is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition. Participation will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process. All information will be handled transparently and in accordance with procurement regulations. The Council may use the findings to inform any subsequent procurement, which would be advertised separately via the central digital platform.engagement29 Jul 2026scheduled

        "description": "Cornwall Council is conducting a Soft Market Test (SMT) as part of preliminary market engagement to inform the potential development of a time‑limited Tenancy Academy pilot.\nThe engagement will gather structured feedback from providers on delivery models, outcomes and measurement approaches, risks, scalability, and indicative costs. This will support the design of the service specification, performance framework, and commercial approach for any future procurement.\nInterested organisations are invited to review the SMT document and submit responses using the structured template provided via the ProContract (Due North) system by the stated deadline 29th July 2026.\nA direct link to the project can be found here: \nhttps://procontract.due-north.com/Supplier/Advert/View?advertId=c3d7fec0-046f-f111-813c-005056b64545&fromProjectDashboard=False&fromRfxSummary=False&selectWorkgroup=False&fromAdvertEvent=False&fromActivityDashboard=False\nThis engagement is for information gathering purposes only and does not constitute a call for competition. Participation will not confer any advantage in any future procurement process. All information will be handled transparently and in accordance with procurement regulations.\nThe Council may use the findings to inform any subsequent procurement, which would be advertised separately via the central digital platform."
