## Summary

Medway Council is inviting tenders for an "Enhanced Hostel Provision" service aimed at supporting vulnerable rough sleepers in Medway, located in the South East of the United Kingdom. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with submissions accepted until 26th March 2021. This open procurement method has an estimated contract value of £42,000 and will commence on 1st April 2021, running until 31st March 2022. The key industry category for this contract is classified under other community, social and personal services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) that have experience in providing housing support services. Companies that can demonstrate effective engagement strategies and partnership capabilities with statutory and voluntary agencies will be particularly well-positioned to compete. Innovative proposals that may enhance the provision of the service or sourcing of accommodation will also be valued, making this an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to expand their reach in the social services sector.

## Notice

Medway Council wants an enhanced hostel service to provide an intensively supported housing option for the most vulnerable rough sleepers in Medway. The service will need to provide support to former rough sleepers as they become established in supported housing setting. The overall aim is to impact positively on the number of rough sleepers on the streets of Medway who are not able to make use of widely available routes into accommodation, and who have not been able to access standard levels of supported accommodation and sustain this accommodation. The service must therefore include methods of supporting people who may be reluctant to accept help. This will require very robust engagement strategies from the provider, who will need to work in close partnership with other statutory and voluntary agencies as applicable, and also need to make sure that relationships with other people in the standard parts of the hostel are managed effectively. Additional elements, such as the inclusion of peer supporters or volunteers would be welcomed, as well as any ideas for innovation in the provision of the service or sourcing of accommodation.
