Therapeutic Intervention Framework for children and young people in Sheffield - Market Engagement

Sheffield City Council is engaging in a public procurement process to develop a Therapeutic Intervention Framework for children and young people in Sheffield, particularly within residential settings. This initiative aims to improve emotional well-being and stability for this demographic. Currently in the planning stage, the council is conducting market engagement, inviting potential providers to contribute to shaping the service offering via an online survey or the YORTender portal, with responses due by 30th May 2025.

The procurement process is part of the light-touch regime with a framework agreement, and the contract period is scheduled from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2029 in the UKE32 region, United Kingdom. The estimated value of the framework, corrected from an earlier figure, stands at £250,000. This tender represents an opportunity for businesses specialising in guidance and counselling services, community action programmes, and community health services to expand their operations and impact.

The endeavour to create a directory of approved providers encourages competition among businesses with expertise in delivering evidence-based therapeutic solutions. Eligible providers with experience in providing cost-effective, tailored support services to complex individual needs may find this framework beneficial to enhance business growth and to establish long-term relationships with a public authority such as Sheffield City Council.
