Soft market test for Community Living Network

Sheffield City Council is embarking on a soft market test for a Community Living Network, aiming to deliver support services for adults with disabilities, long-term health conditions, autism, and mental health conditions. The project is in the planning stage, with relevant engagement milestones scheduled, including a crucial deadline for market engagement due on 26th September 2025. This initiative, classified under health and social work services, is strategically located in the United Kingdom and has a significant proposed budget of £9.6 million.

The procurement process is being initiated through a standard tender procedure, adhering to the requirements of sub-central government public authorities. This procurement provides significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) due to its suitability designation. Companies specialising in health and social work services, as well as those experienced in supporting adults with varied health conditions while enabling them to live independently, will find this tender fitting.

Not only does it promise a substantial financial opportunity but also an extended contract period from June 2026 to May 2030, encouraging long-term business development and stability in the sector.
