## Summary

The Medway Council is currently seeking proposals for a service titled "Somewhere Safe To Stay," aimed at providing intensive support and assessment for rough sleepers in Medway. This tender falls under the health and social work services category, with a total funding amount of £137,000. The procurement process is an open procedure, and the tender period is set to close on 8th March 2019. The contract is expected to commence on 1st July 2019 and last until 31st March 2020. Interested bidders should note that the service will be delivered at locations within the postal area ME4 4TR.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on social services, particularly those specialising in support for vulnerable populations such as rough sleepers. Companies that can demonstrate robust engagement strategies and the capacity to collaborate effectively with statutory and voluntary organisations are encouraged to apply. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited for this contract, as the project requires innovative approaches to outreach and support within the community.

## 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.
