## Summary

Medway Council is currently conducting a tender for "The Provision of RSI Employment Support Service", aimed at providing intensive support to individuals who are or have been sleeping rough. This procurement falls under the social work and related services category and is located in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The tender is active and is using an open procurement method, with a deadline for submissions set for 28th June 2021. The contract is expected to commence on 30th June 2021 and run until 31st March 2022, with a total value of £44,000.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social support services, particularly those focused on employment assistance for vulnerable populations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, especially those that can demonstrate innovation and collaboration with peer supporters or volunteers in delivering effective services. This initiative not only offers a chance to expand service delivery but also contributes to the broader social mission of ameliorating the challenges faced by the homeless community.

## Notice

Medway Council wants a Medway RSI Employment Support service to provide intensive support to people who are currently, or were formerly, sleeping rough. Medway recognises that employment plays a crucial role in getting people to develop their independent skills and own resources, and as such complements the range of accommodation and support offers currently provided through the Rough Sleeping Initiative and Housing Related Support services currently commissioned. Additional elements, such as the inclusion of peer supporters or volunteers would be welcomed, as well as any ideas for innovation in the provision of the service.
