## Summary

The procurement process titled "Medway Somewhere Safe to Stay" is initiated by Medway Council, focusing on the provision of health and social work services in the South East of England. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 4th February 2020. This open procedure seeks to allocate a contract valued at £263,000, spanning from 1st April 2020 to 31st March 2021. The project aims to deliver targeted support for rough sleepers in Medway, necessitating close collaboration with various statutory and voluntary agencies.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialised in social services and community engagement, particularly those suitable to support vulnerable individuals. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to apply, given the emphasis on strategic engagement with rough sleepers who may be hesitant to seek help. Providers will need to demonstrate robust methods to ensure successful outreach and support delivery within the stipulated timeframe.

## Notice

Medway Council wants a Medway Somewhere Safe to Stay service to provide an intensive assessment sit up provision for rough sleepers in Medway. The service will need to provide access to a space with facilities as laid out in Schedule 1, with targeted support to rough sleepers for a period of 72 hours. 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 supported accommodation. The service must include methods of engaging people who may be reluctant to accept help in getting to a single service offer within 72 hours. 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.
