Tender description

This service focuses on preventing rough sleeping wherever possible and ensuring that, where prevention is not successful, rough sleeping does not become repeated or prolonged. Its aim is to intervene early, reduce the risk of people sleeping rough, and support coordinated action so that individuals do not cycle back into homelessness. The service will take a coordination role across the partnership, organising and aligning activity to strengthen the prevention of rough sleeping. It will work closely with services that support people at risk of, or experiencing, rough sleeping to ensure that approaches, pathways and responses are joined up and effective. ## Contract award Title: Enabling Prevention in the Voluntary, Care and Faith Sector

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.
