UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is procuring accommodation-based support services for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness in Sheffield. Lot 1 is a dedicated supported housing service for single women, providing safe, self-contained, single-sex accommodation and trauma-informed housing-related support. The service is intended to help women build independence and move on to settled housing, including women rough sleeping. Lot 2 is supported housing for families, using a flexible mix of dispersed and scheme-based accommodation. It includes trauma-informed, strengths-based housing support to help families obtain, sustain and progress from accommodation, promote stability and independence, and move successfully into settled housing. This is a social care and supported housing services opportunity, classified under social work services with accommodation and related social work services.

The process has reached tender: Sheffield City Council invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries had to be submitted by 24 September 2026 at 22:55, and offers had to be submitted electronically by 9 October 2026 at 11:00. The council expected to complete award decisions by 23 October 2026. The overall estimated value is £2,771,505 excluding VAT, or £3,325,805 including VAT. Lot 1 is valued at £1,111,542 excluding VAT, with a contract from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2034. Lot 2 is valued at £1,659,963 excluding VAT, with a contract from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2033. Each lot is evaluated on quality method statements, weighted 100%; price is a pass/fail requirement with zero weighting.

The opportunity suits organisations that can provide supported accommodation alongside structured housing-related support for women or families experiencing homelessness, housing instability or rough sleeping. Relevant providers will need to offer safe accommodation, including self-contained single-sex provision for Lot 1, and either dispersed or scheme-based accommodation for Lot 2. The service model requires trauma-informed practice; Lot 2 also calls for strengths-based support. Strong capability in promoting stability, independence and planned move-on into settled housing will be important, as will the ability to help residents obtain, sustain and progress from accommodation. The council has identified both lots as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Bids are therefore likely to suit specialist supported housing, homelessness and social care providers with established operational capacity.
