## Summary

The procurement process for the "Home At Last Team (HALT) – Housing Support Service" is managed by Sheffield City Council. This initiative focuses on the health and social work services category and aims to enhance long-term recovery outcomes for individuals undergoing drug treatment by incorporating targeted housing support into a broader recovery framework. The service is located in the Sheffield area (region UKE32) of the United Kingdom. The procurement process followed an open procedure under the light-touch regime, and the contract has reached the award stage. The successful tenderer for this contract, awarded on 24th July 2026, is Shelter, with the contract set to commence on 1st October 2026 and conclude on 31st March 2029, with the possibility of a 12-month extension.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, especially for organisations experienced in providing comprehensive support services for individuals with substance use issues. Companies with expertise in structured treatment programmes, particularly those addressing homelessness and housing solutions, will find this opportunity fitting. Since the project targets increasing treatment capacity while reducing the instances of homelessness among substance users, businesses capable of delivering innovative housing solutions and supportive care services could leverage this tender to expand their footprint in public sector contracts and contribute positively to community health outcomes.

## Notice

The primary objective of this commission is to improve long-term recovery outcomes for people in drug treatment by integrating targeted housing support into the wider recovery framework. This initiative stems from the 10-year Drug Strategy, which allocated PS53m to address the significant housing instabilities often cited by individuals entering dependency services. By focusing on the delivery of stable housing, this project seeks to remove a primary barrier to successful treatment completion. Following the success of the HALT project, which commenced in 2021, this specification invites providers to bid to provide a Housing Support Service as part of the Home At Last Team (HALT) to support those with substance use issues into structured treatment and long term sustainable accommodation, which fits into our strategic objective of 'Increasing Treatment Capacity.' It will seek to reduce the number of rough sleepers with substance use issues who are not currently engaged in structured treatment, to prevent those within treatment who are at risk of homelessness due to their substance use from becoming homeless, and to offer support (professional and peer) to individuals who are within this cohort.
