## Summary

Sheffield City Council has initiated a tender for a "Gender-Informed Outreach Service for Females Rough Sleeping," aimed at supporting women at risk of or experiencing rough sleeping in the South Yorkshire area. The procurement process falls under the "Social work and related services" category and utilises an open competition method, specifically below threshold. Interested parties should note the key dates: the enquiry period ends on 26th February 2026, and the tender submission deadline is set for 4th March 2026. The procurement is currently in the tender stage with an active status indicating it is ongoing. The project is valued at approximately £114,578 (excluding VAT) and is expected to commence on the 1st of April 2026, lasting until 31st March 2027. This initiative aligns with sub-central government public authority functions under the light-touch regime. 

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those adept in addressing homelessness and related social work challenges. Sheffield City Council's outreach project could benefit immensely from companies with expertise in multi-agency support strategies, especially those familiar with entrenched and cyclical issues. The contract prioritises quality over price as an award criterion, making it ideal for SMEs and VCSEs with innovative approaches to social care and support. With electronic submissions allowed, participating businesses have an accessible pathway for tender submission. The project underscores Sheffield's commitment to supporting its local community and offers a chance for businesses to contribute to meaningful social change, leveraging their skills and resources effectively in South Yorkshire.

## Notice

The Service will engage and support women who are, or are at risk of, rough sleeping, and identified by the Council as being in the TPG. The TPG can be described as individuals experiencing entrenched and cyclical rough sleeping, who have often experienced multiple disadvantage and are least likely to resolve their homelessness without intensive, multi-agency support.
