Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is in the planning stage of a procurement process titled "Sheffield Carer's Service," primarily focused on health and social work services under the CPV code 85000000. The procurement aims to improve outcomes for carers in Sheffield through the Sheffield Carers Support Service. As a pipeline notice, it provides a forecast of the council’s high-value procurement activities without committing to procuring a contract. This procurement, intended to commence in January 2027 and conclude in December 2031, is located in the UKE32 region of the United Kingdom. The estimated gross value of the contract is £3,600,000, with a net value of £3,000,000. The services fall under the 'light touch' regime, and further tender notices will be communicated by May 2026.

This planned procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in supporting carers. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in delivering high-quality care support services and manage contractual engagements over an extended period are ideal candidates for this tender. Furthermore, businesses with a strong presence or operational capacity in the Sheffield area will be better positioned to benefit from this opportunity, leveraging their local knowledge and resources to deliver impactful services. With a significant contract value and a long-term engagement horizon, this tender offers a promising avenue for service providers looking to expand their portfolio within a public sector framework.
