This is a large award for Health & Social Care — above three-quarters of comparable contracts. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
Sheffield City Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 376 notices, roughly one every 3 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
50% of Sheffield City Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
Care Home provision in Sheffield forms an integral part of the Health and Social Care vision for the city.
The focus remains on delivering, and continuing to improve, services that keep people well in the place they call home, help reduce unnecessary hospital admissions and reduce the time people must stay in hospital when they are deemed well enough to leave.
We believe Care Homes are there to recognise and support individuality, culture, and difference, to allow people choice and control over their life, support people to have a purpose and be able to contribute and support the person to continue with their network of contacts and embrace their position as part of a local geographical or community of interest.
We will ensure the care and support that people receive in care homes is personalised, promotes independence, wellbeing, and quality of life.
Our vision for care homes is aligned with the Vision for Adult Social Care
