UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council commissioned a community employment support service under its Pathways to Work programme. The work is job-search and employment support delivered by a trainee employment support adviser, with the stated outcome of helping participants into jobs. Delivery is in Sheffield. The project is part-funded by the UK Government. The requirement is a focused local service combining employment advice with community-based delivery, rather than a general recruitment or staffing contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Sheffield City Council awarded the single lot to Netherthorpe and Upperthorpe Community Alliance. The award was for job-search services. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027 and was signed on 1 September 2026; the award date is not stated. Its value is £30,334 excluding VAT (£36,412 including VAT). The process was described as below threshold, with the specific method recorded as unknown. The published outcome identifies one lot and an active contract. The agreed performance measure includes the number of participants moving into jobs.

For suppliers considering comparable future work from Sheffield City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a short-term, community-delivered employment support service focused on moving participants into jobs. A credible provider would need to deliver practical job-search support through trainee employment support advisers and operate effectively in the local community. The selected organisation is a Sheffield community alliance, indicating that local community-service capability is relevant to this requirement. Providers should be able to demonstrate a clear route from adviser support to employment outcomes and the ability to track participants entering work. The requirement is modest in scale and was procured below threshold; the result shows that the council selected a community-based provider for this delivery model.
