Companies equipped with expertise in outreach and supported accommodation can benefit from participating in this open procedure framework. The framework supports up to 100 participants, allowing ample opportunity for growth and collaboration within the sector. Businesses capable of delivering tailored support packages, as stipulated by the Care Act 2014, are especially well-suited to compete and help address the pressing mental health needs in Sheffield, thereby expanding their client base and increasing their impact.

The purpose of this framework is to offer support to those people living in Sheffield who have a severe mental health problem that is having a significant effect on their health and wellbeing. Mental health needs are increasing, economic and environmental factors are taking their toll. The aim of this framework is to address some of these issues before they can develop, offering support at the right time and enabling a return to independence as quickly as is possible.
For others it may be ongoing support at a level that allows as much autonomy as the individual can manage. Services will be available to individuals who reside in Sheffield who have a diagnosis of severe mental illness and have eligible needs under the Care Act 2014. Once an individual's needs have been assessed as being eligible for Social Care funding, they will be allocated a package of support.
This support must meet the needs set out in the Care Act (2014) Assessment or Section 117 assessment.
