## Summary

The NHS Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is currently conducting a tender for the "NHS Sheffield CCG - Bereavement Counselling (T3) Service", with a focus on providing counselling services in response to the mental health challenges arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. This procurement process is in the Tender stage, having been published on 8th April 2022, with an end date for submissions set for 9th May 2022. The contract is expected to begin on 21st June 2022 and run until 20th June 2024. The total contract value is £300,000, following an open procurement method that allows extensive participation from eligible suppliers. The services will be delivered to the locality of Sheffield, with a postal address of S9 4EU.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to expand their service offerings within the health and social care sector. Businesses that specialize in counselling services, particularly those geared towards bereavement support and mental health, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. As the demand for such services is expected to increase, participating in this procurement could help organisations grow and enhance their community impact in Sheffield and beyond.

## Notice

Bereavement during the Covid-19 pandemic is associated with negative impacts on the physical and mental health of bereaved relatives and loved ones. It is predicted that the incidence of prolonged grief disorder (PGD) will rise. Reasons for this include (but are not exclusive to) limited contact with and opportunities to say goodbye to loved ones, sudden or traumatic deaths, limited end of life discussions with healthcare professionals, social isolation and loss of usual social support networks, financial insecurity and job losses. In Sheffield providers of care have informally reported seeing bereaved people "moving up the ladder of need" as their usual coping mechanisms are not available to them.
