## Summary

Sheffield City Council recently completed the tender process for the "Outreach & Transitional Service for young adults aged 16-25 years" aimed at reducing substance misuse harm in Sheffield, United Kingdom. This procurement, falling under the health and social work services industry category, was conducted using an open procedure. The service contract, valued at £1,081,200 gross, is scheduled to commence on 1st October 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2029, with an optional renewal for an additional 12 months extending to 31st March 2030. Initially tendered in May 2026, the award was finalised on 22nd July 2026, with a standstill period ending on 3rd August 2026. The outreach service is integral to addressing risky behaviours associated with substance use among youth and involves collaboration with sexual and mental health services.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for the chosen supplier, Change Grow Live (CGL), a large-scale organisation with a community-focused mission. The service delivery model emphasises integrated care pathways and harm reduction strategies, ideal for businesses experienced in health and social work services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with expertise in managing transitional services for young adults, particularly those with an understanding of navigating dual youth and adult treatment systems, could successfully compete for similar contracts. Winning this award provides CGL and potential future bidders with the chance to impact local public health initiatives positively while expanding their influence within the regional service network.

## Notice

The outreach service will deliver interventions to reduce harm around substance use and associated risky behaviours with a target audience of 16-25-year-olds. The aim of the outreach service is to reduce and / or prevent recreational/experimental use turning into problematic drug and alcohol use. The service will explore new opportunities to provide outreach within the city of Sheffield and will discuss this with commissioners in the new contract period. The service will be required to provide harm reduction advice and support, overdose prevention advice, and work closely with key partners including but not limited to, sexual health and mental health services. The service will provide a comprehensive referral and signposting function to ensure that substance use support is accessible to all individuals encountered during outreach and education initiatives. This includes a commitment to navigating both adult and youth-specific treatment systems, ensuring that referrals are handled with the necessary sensitivity and clinical relevance. By integrating these transition points into standard outreach procedures, the service will facilitate a seamless journey for service users from initial engagement through to specialist substance use intervention.
