Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is initiating a soft market test for a Care and Wellbeing Service Transformational Contract focused on home care services. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with an engagement end date set for 18th March 2022. This initiative aims to explore the market and gather insights to shape the upcoming formal tender process. The services are classified under health and social work services, specifically targeting potential providers within Yorkshire and the Humber region in England.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can demonstrate expertise in providing home care services and innovative approaches to care provision will be well-positioned to compete when the formal tender is announced, enabling them to potentially engage in a lucrative partnership with Sheffield City Council.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Soft Market Test for Care and Wellbeing Service Transformational Contract- Home Care

Notice Description

Sheffield City Council is conducting this soft market test as precursor to a formal procurement process and approach to the market. We will be looking to appoint a number of providers for the provision of a Care and Wellbeing Service Transformational Contract (Homecare) and this survey is intended to feed into this process. There will be a formal tender competition to appoint successful provider(s) following on from this exercise in due course; the purpose of this soft market test is to consult with the market and offer an opportunity for you to make representations on our current thinking / potential approach to the market. This soft market test exercise therefore does not constitute a formal call for competition and will not result in the letting of a contract at this stage.
