The procurement invitation centres on a market engagement event to be held virtually on Thursday, 20 November 2025, from 10.00 am to 11.30 am via Microsoft Teams. Interested parties must notify the council via email or the YORtender/EU Supply e-tendering platform. The overall framework will be under two categories: Lot 1 for Standard Support includes supported accommodation for adults with severe mental illness, and Lot 2 for Enhanced Support targets adults with complex needs. The contracting opportunity mainly targets the Yorkshire and the Humber region and is classified under industry category CPV 85000000. This upcoming tender process presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health and social care services, particularly those experienced in mental health care provision. Companies that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or volunteer community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly suitable to engage in this tender, as indicated by their eligibility in the procurement documents. With demand for more inclusive and attentive mental health services rising, this tender could be a profitable venture for businesses that can deliver comprehensive support and accommodation to adults facing severe mental health challenges. ## Notice Sheffield City Council invites providers to a Market Engagement Event for the re-opening of the Mental Health Independence and Support Framework, introducing a two-tier support model: * Lot 1 - Standard Support: Supported accommodation and outreach for adults (18+) with severe mental illness (e.g. schizophrenia, bipolar, personality disorder) known to health/social care teams, with eligible needs under the Care Act 2014 and/or Section 117 aftercare. * Lot 2 - Enhanced Support: Services for adults (18+) with severe mental illness and complex needs, including behaviours that challenge, forensic histories, neurodevelopmental conditions, and risk of harm or hospitalisation. Some of these individuals may require support with personal care tasks or medication administration.
