The tender process is now open for a wide range of Cornwall Council-owned sites. We are looking for bids for interesting business ideas - from artisan food and drink vans to outdoor Zumba classes and everything in between.

The aim of the tender is to put Council-owned land to good use by providing business opportunities that enhance the local area. Money raised for the lease of these sites goes straight back into protecting and enhancing Cornwall’s unique environment.

The closing date is midday Wednesday 29th January 2020.
