## Summary

The procurement process titled "Somewhere Safe To Stay," initiated by Medway Council, aims to establish a service for rough sleepers in Medway, South East England. This tender falls under the health and social work services industry category, with a total value of £137,000. The open procedure tender period is active, with submissions due by 8th March 2019, and the contract period set to commence on 1st July 2019, lasting until 1st April 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the social services and support sectors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Successful bidders will not only contribute to improving local community welfare but can also build sustainable partnerships with statutory and voluntary agencies, enhancing their service portfolio and credibility in providing vital support to vulnerable groups.

## 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.
