This initiative falls under the health and social work services industry category and is part of the open procurement process, currently at the tender stage. Businesses interested in participating should note the tender period ending on 19th January 2026, with services commencing on 1st April 2026 and lasting until 30th October 2027. The contract will be executed in Yorkshire and the Humber, focusing on community outreach and supported accommodation across two categories of support. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those offering social work and related services. It is well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), providing a potential avenue for growth through long-term service provision. Companies with expertise in mental health support can leverage their experience to compete in this open procedure, creating a positive impact on community welfare while expanding their business presence within the public sector. ## Notice The purpose of this framework is to offer support to those people living in Sheffield who have a severe mental health problem that is having a significant effect on their health and wellbeing. Mental health needs are increasing, economic and environmental factors are taking their toll. The aim of this framework is to address some of these issues before they can develop, offering support at the right time and enabling a return to independence as quickly as is possible. For others it may be ongoing support at a level that allows as much autonomy as the individual can manage. Services will be available to individuals who reside in Sheffield who have a diagnosis of severe mental illness and have eligible needs under the Care Act 2014. Once an individual's needs have been assessed as being eligible for Social Care funding, they will be allocated a package of support. This support must meet the needs set out in the Care Act (2014) Assessment or Section 117 assessment. It is the responsibility of the assessor to decide what level of support will be required for each individual. This decision will benefit all parties who are then able to understand and tailor support to the individuals' current abilities and needs. The level of support will be determined at assessment stage and will fit into one of the two categories: LOT 1 - Standard Support 1.1 Outreach 1.2 Supported Accommodation LOT 2 - Enhanced Support 2.1 Outreach 2.2 Supported Accommodation ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/420269c3-70c7-48b3-81dc-846416148124 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Dec 2025 | | Submission deadline | 19 Jan 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 30 Oct 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 2HH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 12 Dec 2025 at 12:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/420269c3-70c7-48b3-81dc-846416148124 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/420269c3-70c7-48b3-81dc-846416148124 12th December 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=100881&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/104130 User / Company ## Notice URLs - http://sheffield.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
