The primary objective is to ensure that detained or voluntarily interviewed children (aged 10-17) and mentally vulnerable adults (aged 18 and above) are supported effectively. The council aims to collaborate with South Yorkshire Police and youth justice services across Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham, and Doncaster. The procurement stage is currently in the 'Tender' phase, with submissions being accepted until 30th September 2024. The project is valued at £1.4 million and will run from 1st December 2024 to 30th November 2028, covering the UKE3 region. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in social work, community action programmes, and youth services. Companies that can offer electronic submission and invoicing are particularly well-suited for this open procedure. The project not only offers a significant value but also a chance for businesses to develop a strong relationship with multiple public authorities, thereby fostering longer-term engagements and reputational growth within the sector. Firms experienced in providing support services for vulnerable demographics would find this contract especially beneficial for business expansion. ## Notice Sheffield City Council (the Council), Children Young People and Families seeks to develop a collaborative relationship with South Yorkshire Police (SYP), Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Doncaster Youth Justice Services, for the provision of Appropriate Adult Services to provide support for Children and Vulnerable Adults in aged 10-17 years (inclusive) or a 'mentally vulnerable' adult (aged 18 years and over) who is being detained by police or is being interviewed voluntarily.
