## Summary

The Sheffield City Council is currently conducting a tender for the "Changing Futures Programme," which focuses on delivering coproduction and peer support services to address multiple disadvantages such as homelessness and mental health issues. This initiative, backed by a budget of £420,000, is classified under health and social work services and will run from 16th February 2022 until 31st March 2024. The submission deadline for bids is 8th October 2021, and interested parties are encouraged to participate in this open procurement process.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social services. Companies that possess experience in community support, peer mentoring, and services for vulnerable populations will be well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with this programme can allow businesses to expand their operations while contributing positively to community welfare and inclusivity in Sheffield.

## Notice

Description:The Changing Futures programme is a PS64 million joint initiative by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and The National Lottery Community Fund, the largest funder of community activity in the UK. The fund is for local organisations to work in partnership to better support those who experience multiple disadvantage, including homelessness, substance misuse, mental health issues, domestic abuse, and contact with the criminal justice system. It will run from July 2021 to March 2024 and includes additional funding for 15 local areas to test new ways of working. This service will fulfil two elements of our transformation programme: * Increase the influence of people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage on the design and delivery of relevant services and the city's overall strategy and approach to multiple disadvantage. * Increase the number of peer supporters and volunteers, to provide a route for people with lived experience of multiple disadvantage to give something back and develop their skills and employability; and for people currently experiencing multiple disadvantage to benefit from empathetic and credible role models. These elements will be primarily delivered through the development of 'peer and lay' roles which will work widely across all services and organisations, regardless of sector, that have regular interactions with adults experiencing multiple disadvantage. The Service will run from 16/02/2022 to 31/03/2024 with a contract budget (funded by government grant) set at PS420,000 for the contract term.
