Tender description
We are looking to appoint an organisation with social enterprise expertise to deliver a programme of specialist business support and advice for social enterprises in Sheffield as part of the UKSPF Social Enterprise project. The aim of the activity is to increase the startup, survival and impact of the sector, through a business focused, expert led, collaborative approach, aligning with the wider Sheffield/South Yorkshire business support infrastructure and ecosystem. Social enterprises receiving support will be helped to tackle barriers to start and grow through increased knowledge, support and effective collaborations. The UKSPF Social Enterprise project is being supported by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and is part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

About the buyer
Sheffield City Council is a local authority for the city of Sheffield, and runs its own procurement function for contracts across the organisation. Tender opportunities are advertised on YORtender, the council's e-tendering portal shared with local authorities across the Yorkshire and Humber region. Contracts above threshold also appear on Find a Tender, with lower-value opportunities listed on Contracts Finder. Framework agreements let the council call off from appointed suppliers without a fresh advertisement. An evaluation panel scores each bid, and the highest-scoring supplier wins the contract. Contract details are then published in the Contract Register within YORtender.
UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).
Over the past 5 years, most of Sheffield City Council's contract awards have been in business services, construction work and IT services.
