The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a key milestone—the engagement end date—set for 1st November 2018. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category, and the services will be required across various locations in the United Kingdom and overseas territories. Potential bidders can find additional details and access e-tendering through the provided links. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care, particularly those with experience in providing supported living services. Companies that have expertise in delivering person-centred, community-based solutions, as well as those skilled in managing challenging behaviours through specialised training and leadership, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this framework could not only expand their service reach but also contribute to improving the quality of life for vulnerable individuals in the community. ## Notice Children, young people and adults with a learning disability and/or autism who display behaviour that challenges, including those with a mental health condition have the right to the same opportunities as anyone else to live satisfying and valued lives and, to be treated with the same dignity and respect. They should have a home within their community, be able to develop and maintain relationships and get the support they need to live a healthy, safe and fulfilling life" . Sheffield City Council is establishing a specialist Supported Living Framework for adults with learning disabilities and/or autism, who display behaviour that challenges, including those with a mental health condition. People supported by Providers on this Framework may have complex histories (including 'forensic' and/or offending histories). People may also have spent a long time in secure hospital or other restrictive / institutionalised settings and require support in the transition to less restrictive settings. People will be supported to live in community-based housing. Their Supported Living Services will be person-centred and non-restrictive, working in close partnership with everyone involved in the person's life, helping them be in control of their own lives. The Supported Living Services will be resilient with strong leadership at all levels, skilled in understanding behaviour and delivering proactive approaches to reduce or prevent challenging behaviour and able to effectively support their staff. Support staff will have enhanced skills and support, able to implement the right approaches, including Positive Behaviour Support, for each person supported. Over time, skilled and consistent support will reduce people's challenging and/or offending behaviour helping them lead safer and happier lives. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c968e7-dc9a-476e-bc06-656696c9d231 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 1 Aug 2018 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Nov 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | 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 4PL | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 98341000 - Accommodation services ## Release History - 1 Aug 2018 at 09:12 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c968e7-dc9a-476e-bc06-656696c9d231 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/68c968e7-dc9a-476e-bc06-656696c9d231 1st August 2018 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=40694d90-6495-e811-80ed-005056b64545&fromAdvertEvent=True Link to e-tendering portal ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
