## Summary

Sheffield City Council is currently in the tender stage of its procurement process for the "Somewhere Else To Assess (S2A)" project, which falls under the services category specifically targeting residential health facilities services. This project aims to provide 40 block beds under the Somewhere To Assess Pathway, ensuring a safe place for individuals transitioning from acute hospital care. The procurement is conducted through an open procedure and is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, with the deadline for tender submissions set for 30th May 2025. The project, valued at £7,981,010, is located in the UKE32 region, with specific attention given to meeting the post-acute care needs of hospital patients.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in residential nursing care services, particularly those with capabilities to deliver urgent and temporary care solutions in partnership with healthcare boards. The S2A framework seeks to establish a structured yet flexible procurement agreement, ideal for organisations prepared to offer both block and spot purchase services. Companies with experience in healthcare transitions and capacity management could find this an exceptional opportunity for business growth. Given the framework’s potential for future spot purchases beyond the initial block beds, businesses focusing on scalable health care service delivery systems will be well-positioned to benefit. The procurement process allows for a maximum of 20 participants in the framework agreement, maximizing opportunities for qualified suppliers.
