Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council is preparing to procure an Extra Care Housing service in Sheffield. The requirement is for health and social work services supporting an extra care housing model, with the council considering a provider-led process for allocations and nominations. The procurement is intended to support people who need housing alongside care and support, although the detailed service specification is still being developed. The council is seeking views from providers on the proposed service model and whether a provider-led allocations and nominations process is feasible. This is a single service requirement, delivered in Sheffield, and falls within the light-touch regime for public services.

The procurement is at the planning stage and the council has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It plans to hold a market engagement event on 30 September 2026, from 10:00 to 12:30, at Conference Rooms LG42, Sheffield Town Hall, Pinstone Street, Sheffield S1 2HH. The event will explain the proposed service model and test the feasibility of provider-led allocations and nominations. The council expects the next notice to be published by 1 April 2027. The anticipated contract period is 1 October 2027 to 30 September 2032. The estimated value is £5.8 million excluding VAT, or £6.96 million including VAT. The procurement is above the applicable threshold.

This will suit established extra care housing operators and health or social care providers able to deliver an integrated housing, care and support service in Sheffield. Providers with practical experience of allocating extra care housing and managing nominations will be well placed to contribute to the proposed operating model. The market engagement is an opportunity to help shape how the service could work, including whether providers can take responsibility for allocations and nominations. Organisations considering participation should be ready to explain their delivery approach, operational capacity and relevant experience, and to assess whether they could manage a substantial, multi-year public service arrangement when it reaches the market.
