Coverage: 74 active published awards; 11 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Published-to-award variance compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
Cornwall Council is conducting a Soft Market Test (SMT) to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest for the delivery of a Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Infrastructure contract to run between Autumn 2026 – Autumn 2029. It is intended that the responses supplied will enable the Council to assess the capability and experience of the organisation to deliver the requirements outlined in the questionnaire. 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.
