## Summary

Medway Council is seeking to appoint a Visiting Support Service for a period of three months, aimed at assisting individuals who were previously homeless and have been placed into accommodation as part of the Covid-19 response. The tender, titled "Homelessness Visiting Support Service," falls within the category of Other community, social and personal services and has a total value of £80,000. The procurement process is currently at the active tender stage, with submissions due by 12:00 on 26th March 2021. The service will take place in the South East region of the United Kingdom, with the contract expected to commence on 31st March 2021 and conclude on 25th June 2021.

This opportunity presents significant prospects for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of delivering social support services. Businesses with experience in providing outreach and tenancy support, particularly those that have a focus on social care or community services, will find themselves well-positioned to compete for this contract. The successful bidder will play a vital role in supporting vulnerable populations, thereby contributing positively to community welfare and enhancing their own service portfolio.

## Notice

Medway Council Strategic Housing is looking to appoint for 3 months a Visiting Support Service. This service is expected to support people formerly sleeping rough who have been placed into accommodation by way of Medway Council's Covid-19 response exercise. The service would visit people at their accommodation, or find other suitable venues or agreed communication methods, and provide ongoing support to help them maintain their tenancy (whether long term or temporary) and address other concerns and support needs (linking in with specialist and universal services, dealing with welfare benefit issues, etc) and reporting back through agreed channels to Medway Council's Rough Sleeper InitiativeTeam.
