## Summary

The Moat Homes Limited is initiating a procurement process for "Vision and background to the Moat Foundation Community Hubs," which falls under the social work and related services sector. This tender is currently in the planning stage and focuses on seeking a new partner to manage four Community Hubs located in Gravesham, Gillingham, Sittingbourne, and Stanhope, Kent. Interested organisations should note that the engagement end date is set for 25th October 2019, and a Prior Information Notice (PIN) has been published to facilitate early engagement.

## Notice

As such we would like the new partner to have an excellent understanding of local issues, be innovative and dynamic in its approach and be outcome driven in order to make lasting positive changes in the lives of individuals and communities living within our hub regions in Kent.
