## Summary

Medway Council is seeking to procure two organisations for its "Community Peer to Peer Outreach Work" project. The contract, valued at £62,500, falls under the category of community health services and is to support outreach efforts for individuals with severe and multiple disadvantages who misuse drugs. This open procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with submissions due by 14th July 2021. The contract is set to commence on 1st August 2021 and will last for 10 months, based in the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those with experience in outreach work, substance misuse services, or community support initiatives. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate. By engaging in this initiative, organisations can contribute to critical public health efforts while potentially expanding their service offerings and gaining a foothold in the local community health market.

## Notice

Medway Council is looking to procure two organisations that work in street-based or supported accommodation settings to recruit part-time outreach coordinators that will deliver assertive outreach with peer mentors and support the existing treatment service outreach team. The outreach coordinators will support access to treatment for those who misuse drugs, and experience severe and multiple disadvantages (SMD), and recruit peer mentors who have lived and living experience within their networks. This project will feed into other projects across Medway, to reduce drug-related deaths, improve pathways between services, and increase the number of people with SMD accessing harm reduction interventions and treatment services. The funding for this project has come from the Public Health England Universal grant for 'Additional drug treatment crime and harm reduction funding'. The Contract is anticipated to commence on 1st August 2021 and will continue for a period of 10months, unless terminated in accordance with the Conditions of Contract.
