## Summary

The Sheffield City Council is conducting a procurement process for a project titled "Floating Support for Older People", which aims to provide floating support services to individuals aged 55 and over across Yorkshire and the Humber. This initiative is classified under health and social work services and has an estimated budget of £6,000,000. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the contract period commenced on 4 September 2017, concluding on 4 September 2020. The tender notice was published on 13 March 2017, with the tender period closing on 12 April 2017.

This procurement presents significant business opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in health and social care services aimed at the elderly. Companies with experience in case management and support services for older populations would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The project seeks to enhance the independence of older people, which could align with the capabilities of various service providers in this sector, including housing associations and support service firms.

## Notice

Older People Floating Support - The Provider will deliver floating support citywide to older people who are 55 and over. The support will focus on case work where people need around 6 months visiting support to enable them to live independently safe and well at home in a suitable home environment and prevent them from needing care packages.
