This initiative falls under the industry category of social work and related services, specifically aimed at supported accommodation. The procurement is particularly focused on addressing homelessness through the commissioning of services both for families and single individuals. Located in Sheffield, the procurement process is at the initial planning phase, with a preliminary market engagement scheduled for 21st July 2026. Interested parties can partake in this online event via Microsoft Teams, with registration required through the Mercell/EU Supply portal. The services being commissioned are intended to ensure better targeting and efficient service delivery, maintaining a continuity that supports the Council’s housing strategies. This procurement procedure represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the social services sector, particularly those with expertise in supported accommodation and homelessness prevention. With a focus on innovation and service transformation, this tender provides a platform for businesses to showcase their capabilities, contribute to meaningful social outcomes, and potentially secure long-term contracts spanning six years, from November 2026 to November 2032. Companies with experience in delivering accommodation services or those capable of providing ancillary support services like counselling and case management will find this tender particularly suited to their portfolio, offering a chance to expand their reach and collaborate with local government on vital community projects. ## Notice Sheffield City Council will be tendering for a range of supported accommodation services that support people who are experiencing homelessness or at risk of being homeless. One service will be commissioned for families and five services for single people. The commissions are intended to maintain service continuity while enabling service transformation, ensure better targeting of support to those most likely to benefit, and strengthen outcomes such as sustainable move-on and reduced repeat homelessness. The proposals have been approved by Sheffield City Council Housing Policy Committee, and the reports are available here: https://democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/documents/s85693/Form%202%20-%20Commissioning%20of%20supported%20housing%20for%20families.pdf https://democracy.sheffield.gov.uk/documents/s85696/Form%202%20-%20Commissioning%20of%20supported%20housing%20for%20single%20people.pdf An online pre market engagement event has been organised via Microsoft teams, where we will set out our requirements in more detail, and you can register for this event by sending your name, organisation, and the email address of those who you would like to attend this event via the Mercell / EU Supply portal messaging function.
