## Summary

Medway Council is seeking bids for the supply of an Enhanced Hostel Service as part of their initiative to support vulnerable rough sleepers in Medway, England. This tender is classified under civic betterment and community facility support services, with a total contract value of £40,000. The tender process is currently active and follows an open procurement method, with a submission deadline set for 6th March 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2020 and will last until 31st March 2021.

This opportunity presents a significant chance for businesses focused on social services and community support, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs). Providers that can demonstrate robust engagement strategies and innovative solutions in working with vulnerable populations would be well-positioned to compete. Businesses with experience in housing support, outreach services, and collaboration with statutory and voluntary agencies will find this tender particularly well-suited to their capabilities.

## 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.
