Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council recently concluded the award phase for a procurement process entitled "Supported Accommodation for Single Homeless Women," focusing on the social services industry in Sheffield, United Kingdom. The procurement process was conducted using the open procedure, suitable for light-touch regime services, and catered to submissions in English. The awarded contract, valued at approximately £1.25 million, will commence on 1st October 2025 and run until 30th September 2030. The procurement covered services that include accommodation and support for single homeless women, addressing issues such as domestic abuse, mental health, and substance misuse. The standstill period for the contract ended on 29th July 2025, with the future signature scheduled for 22nd August 2025.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses with strengths in social work services, particularly those skilled in providing comprehensive support to vulnerable populations facing complex challenges. Firms with expertise in partnership models—registered social landlords, service providers with support structures, or those that align with multi-agency approaches—are well-suited to compete. As a successful bidder, The Salvation Army, a large-scale organisation, demonstrates that entities with robust infrastructures capable of managing large-scale service delivery can thrive in such procurements. Opportunities for growth are particularly favourable for organisations eager to enhance their service offerings by addressing social inequalities through quality-focused delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as those with a social enterprise focus, would benefit from engaging with similar procurement opportunities in the future to broaden their footprint in the social services sector.
