Tender description
Cornwall Council is commissioning an independent review of its Housing First service, which has supported people with histories of entrenched rough sleeping and multiple disadvantage since 2019. The review will assess service outcomes, tenancy sustainment, unsuccessful tenancies, community impact, operational delivery and alignment with Housing First principles. It will include analysis of quantitative and qualitative evidence, engagement with key stakeholders, benchmarking against national Housing First practice and fidelity standards, and provide recommendations to inform future commissioning, service development and strategic decision making. ## Contract award

About the buyer
Cornwall Council is a local authority with a central Commercial Services team that handles procurement and contract management. Every tender opportunity is advertised on Supplying the South West, the council's ProContract portal, whatever the contract value. 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.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
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.
