## Summary

Medway Council is currently conducting an open procurement process for the contract titled "Voluntary Community Services," which falls under the Health and Social Work Services category. Located in Chatham, England, this active tender process began on 5th June 2018 and has a submission deadline set for 9th July 2018. The prospective contract, with a value of £4,000,000, is geared towards enhancing infrastructure support for voluntary and community organisations within Medway, aiming to bolster public service delivery from September 2018 through to the end of December 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs) looking to expand their outreach and influence within the public service realm. Businesses that specialise in support services for non-profits, community engagement, or collaborative partnerships would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can help facilitate effective service delivery and stakeholder engagement in the local community.

## Notice

Infrastructure support is the term used to describe the services frontline voluntary and community organisations used to develop as organisations, represent their views and enable them to carry out their activities more effectively. This includes providing a voice for the voluntary and community sector (VCS), facilitating partnerships and raising the profile of the sector with key stakeholders. Voluntary and Community Sector organisations have a vital role to play in public service delivery and effective working within the sector and with other stakeholders is crucial to ensure that public services are planned and delivered to achieve the best possible outcomes for local communities. Developing volunteering in Medway is a crucial part of this service.
