Tender description
Cornwall Council is preparing to recommission the Family Domestic Abuse Skilled Worker (FDASA) Service, with a new contract expected to begin January 2027. We are holding a Provider Market Engagement Event to share our early service outline and gather provider views before finalising the tender. The FDASA model provides a small team of specialist domestic abuse workers who are based within Family Help teams to offer short-term, focused support to families where domestic abuse is a primary concern. Their role is to increase safety, improve understanding of risk, and support access to wider domestic abuse services, while working alongside-rather than replacing-Children's Social Care. The service includes a supervisor/team lead to ensure consistency and coordination. Provider Market Engagement Event Date: 11th May 2026 Time: 1pm - 3pm

Higher-value opportunities also appear on the Central Digital Platform, where suppliers must register under the Procurement Act 2023. Contracts Finder is no longer used for the council's notices. A commercial pipeline sets out anticipated outsourcing by directorate over the next three to five years. School and social care transport contracts are let through a separate Passenger Transport Services portal.

Over the past 5 years, most of Cornwall Council's contract awards have been in health and social work, education and training and software and information systems.
