## Summary

Medway Council is currently seeking proposals for the "Homelessness Visiting Support Service," a tender focusing on community, social, and personal services. This procurement is taking place in Medway, located in the South East of England. The tender is at the active stage with an open procurement method, ending on 30th September 2020. The service is expected to commence on 2nd October 2020 and will run until 31st March 2021. Interested parties should submit their applications before the specified deadline to help support individuals affected by rough sleeping who have been transitioned into temporary accommodation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the community and social services sector, particularly those specialising in support services for vulnerable populations. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the nature of the services required and the emphasis on community engagement. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in tenancy support, welfare benefits, and coordinating with other social services would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

Medway Council Strategic Housing working with Medway Public Health is looking to appoint for 6 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 Initiative Team.
