Private Sector Investment Solutions for Growth in Long-Term Settled Housing Stock.

Descriptions

Cornwall Council seeks private sector partners to deliver up to 350 residential units over three years through long-term private rental and Private Sector Leasing (PSL) models. The initiative aims to mobilise private investment to expand settled and temporary housing stock across Cornwall, supporting homelessness prevention and strategic housing objectives.

Engagement

Cornwall Council is conducting a second soft market test to further explore private sector investment solutions for increasing long-term settled housing and temporary accommodation stock. This second Soft Market Test is to gather clearer financial, operational, and risk‑sharing information after the first engagement highlighted gaps, especially around delivery models and commercial assumptions, pricing, clearer responsibilities, and evidence on feasibility of the property mix and refurbishment requirements. Participation is voluntary but will directly inform the Council’s 2026 business case and procurement approach. Responses are due via ProContract/email by 17:00 on 27 February 2026 If you are interested in this area of service provision and also helping with our assessment of the market, please find the documentation required using the following link: https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk/ ref: DN797049 Private Sector Investment Solutions for Growth in Long-Term Settled Housing Stock
