Somewhere Else to Assess (S2A) - Market Engagement Events
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Sheffield City Council is planning a procurement process titled "Somewhere Else to Assess (S2A) - Market Engagement Events" aimed at the health and social care industry. This process is currently in the planning stage, and it includes two market engagement sessions on the 23rd and 24th of April 2025. The procurement aims to contract services to provide beds for individuals who no longer require acute hospital care but cannot return home, as well as for those who need a safe place to be assessed at home.
The total value of the contract is estimated at £9,000,000. The delivery region for this procurement is Sheffield, United Kingdom (UKE32), with a contract period anticipated from 12th September 2025 to 11th September 2029. This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the healthcare and social work sectors, particularly those specialising in health services and social work services with accommodation.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find this opportunity particularly suitable. The structured market engagement sessions also allow businesses to understand procurement requirements and prepare their proposals effectively, fostering effective competition and collaboration with Sheffield City Council in support of their Health and Social Care vision.
We are pleased to announce that, following our initial activities for Somewhere Else to Assess (S2A), we will soon be ready to launch the tender. To support this, we will be hosting two market engagement events via Microsoft Teams. First session: Wednesday 23rd April 2025 from 10:00am to 11:00am.
Second session: Thursday 24th April 2025 from 2:00pm to 3:00pm. The purpose of the event is to share the below information and register interest from prospective providers: 1. Overview of the proposed new S2A Service and Delivery Model 2.
Procurement approach 3. Questions & answer session The S2A beds were first commissioned in 2019, and a review of the service has highlighted important admission requirements for future provision. The beds aim to support individuals who are in hospital and no longer require acute care but cannot be discharged home, as well as those living at home who need a safe place to stay while their care needs are assessed.
The provision of these beds is a key element of our Health and Social Care vision to reduce unnecessary hospital admissions, support timely and safe hospital discharge, and enable individuals to return to their own homes or normal places of residence whenever possible. Please register your interest in attending the event by sending your name, contact email, the name of your organisation, and which date you would like to attend, through the Portal's messaging function. We will then circulate a Microsoft Teams calendar invite.
We look forward to seeing you at the event.
