## Summary

Sheffield City Council is seeking tenders for the "Promoting Independence - Mental Health Accommodation Social Impact Bond" project, aimed at supporting adults with mental health conditions to achieve greater independence. This procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £3.5 million. The tender is currently in the active stage and applications must be submitted by 9th July 2018. The project is set to commence on 10th December 2018 and run until 9th December 2026, with delivery locations in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This opportunity offers a significant pathway for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in mental health services, social care, and outcomes-based contracts. Companies that excel in supportive interventions, educational programmes, and social impact initiatives would find this tender well-suited for their capabilities, enabling them to contribute positively to the recovery and independence of vulnerable individuals while also benefiting from the financial framework structured within this Social Impact Bond.

## Notice

The aim of the Promoting Independence service is to provide support to adults with mental health conditions who are currently living in residential accommodation, or who will move into this accommodation during the life of the project, where appropriate, to move towards greater independence. The primary focus is to support individuals to move out of 24/7 provision and into their own tenancies where it is appropriate for them to do so, but the ambition is also to increase the level of independence for individuals within 24/7 provision, in particular by supporting them to access education and training. The service will be delivered on an outcomes basis, with payments made to the Provider as outcomes are delivered. This project is targeting the following outcomes for the Individuals in this cohort: - Achievement of a planned exit from 24/7 accommodation, and into supported living or independent living. Sustainment of this move for 6, 12 and 24 months. - Commencement and completion of an accredited training programme which is in line with the person's recovery and future ambitions. Sheffield City Council (the Council) have been awarded a grant in principle by the Life Chances Fund (LCF) to make a partial contribution to the outcome payments of an outcomes based contract for delivery of the Promoting Independence Service. Sheffield City Council wishes to make best use of the opportunity provided by the LCF and the proposed arrangement will therefore be an outcomes based contract (Payments by Results) structured as a Social Impact Bond (SIB).
