The requirement may include supported housing, developing accommodation, move-on options and support models that help young people achieve safety, independence, education, training, employment and sustainable housing outcomes. This is a social care and accommodation service, including social work services with accommodation (CPV 85311000). Delivery is intended in Sheffield. The council is seeking views from potential providers on market capacity, innovative approaches and possible delivery models before shaping any future procurement. The service falls within the light-touch regime and is intended for young people with varied housing and support needs. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a Soft Market Test, not a formal tender or call for competition. Sheffield City Council expects to use the responses to inform future commissioning and procurement activity. A market engagement event is planned through Teams for 26 August 2026 at 14:00, and responses are expected through the YORtender portal by 11 September 2026. The council’s indicative date for a future notice is 2 November 2026. The planned contract period is 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2031. One service lot is currently planned. The procurement is above threshold, with a recorded gross value of £0 in GBP. Future evaluation and eligibility arrangements will be developed after market engagement. The exercise is relevant to organisations already delivering supported accommodation, housing-related support or social work with accommodation for young people. Providers with experience of homelessness, rough sleeping, supported housing, accommodation development and move-on provision are particularly well placed to contribute. The council is also seeking innovative support models and evidence of how services can improve safety, independence, education, training, employment and sustainable housing outcomes. Suitable organisations are likely to need the operational capacity to provide accommodation alongside tailored support, work with young people under 25 facing complex housing circumstances, and demonstrate credible outcome-focused delivery. Housing providers, charities, social enterprises, specialist support organisations and collaborative partnerships may wish to prepare their views and delivery ideas before any future competition. ## Notice Sheffield City Council is inviting potential providers to take part in a Soft Market Test to help inform the future commissioning of supported accommodation and housing-related support services for young people under 25 who are at risk of homelessness, are homeless, or are rough sleeping. We are particularly interested in hearing from organisations with experience, capacity, or innovative ideas relating to supported housing, accommodation development, move-on options, and support models that help young people achieve positive outcomes in relation to safety, independence, education, training, employment, and sustainable housing. This exercise is not a formal tender or call for competition. However, responses will help the Council understand market capacity, test emerging proposals, explore potential delivery models, and shape any future procurement activity. Providers are encouraged to review the information provided and submit a response through the YORtender portal by Friday 11th September 2026. You are also invited to a Market Engagement Event for this Soft Market Test which will take place via Teams on Wednesday 26th August at 14:00.
