## Summary

Medway Council is seeking proposals for the "Men in Sheds Services" project aimed at promoting mental well-being and reducing social isolation among men aged 25 and over in various localities within Medway. This tender is currently in the Tender stage, with submissions due by 6th January 2020. The project is classified under the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £200,000. The contracted services are expected to commence on 15th July 2020 and run until 31st March 2022.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community health, mental health promotion, and social services, particularly those that focus on innovative, community-driven approaches. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete, given the project's emphasis on community development and practical skill acquisition, contributing to both business growth and community welfare.

## Notice

Medway Council is looking for an organisation to deliver the Men in Sheds scheme for Medway. The scheme will deliver men in sheds projects in at least two different postcode localities within Medway, targeting men who are either retired or not in work and aged 25+. The service will deliver targeted mental health promotion to participants using a community development approach which will avoid relying on traditional institutional approaches of mainstream health and social care services. The service will also be associated with a range of secondary outcomes, including increased uptake of health promotion activity, improved access to support and additional services, acquisition of practical skills, training or personal development, reduced social isolation and reduced risk of suicide. Overall aims for the project are on a spectrum as follows: * Mental health promotion: promoting mental wellbeing and reducing social isolation * Early intervention: early intervention/prevention for emerging or low level mental health issues. * Suicide prevention: reducing risk in higher risk groups and reducing suicide rates.
