What the notice says

Cornwall Council is conducting a soft market assessment to gain an understanding of the potential level of interest and gather feedback from the occupational physicians’ market. The questionnaire is open to any provider. Your input will help shape a business proposal and inform the design of a future tender process, ensuring it is practical, user-friendly, and aligned with market capabilities. This is not a formal tender and does not imply any commercial commitment. Participation in this exercise will not affect your eligibility for any future procurement opportunities. The soft market assessment questionnaire can be found on Supplying the Southwest. If you are interested in this area of service provision and would like to help us assess the market, please complete the questionnaire and return your response via the Supplying the Southwest portal.
