The procurement stage was completed with an open procedure, and the contract period spans from December 1, 2023, to March 31, 2025. The project falls under the main procurement category of services and is located in Yorkshire and the Humber, United Kingdom.

The contract, awarded by the Sheffield City Council, offers opportunities for businesses to contribute to a meaningful social cause while expanding their service offerings in the region.

## Notice

The Provider shall deliver an end to end service for people who have Autism and support them in a supported volunteering role with the aim of the individual eventually moving into unsupported employment. The aim of the service will be to offer a 'place and train then fade' service, so after a period of time the individual will be able to attend and carry out their volunteering/ work placement duties unsupported. This project is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund
