This tender aims to assess market interest for providing a Safe Space service in central Hastings, targeting young people aged 17-25 and other vulnerable individuals. The initial engagement phase ends on 6 January 2020, while the contract is expected to start on 1 April 2020 and continue for three years, with a possible two-year extension. With an estimated annual value of £70,000, the procurement process is classified under health services, and businesses have the opportunity to contribute their feedback prior to the official tender release. This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs and VCSEs to participate in delivering essential health services while aiding in community wellbeing initiatives. Companies specialising in support services, youth engagement, or public health are particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as they can provide the necessary expertise and insights into the operational requirements of the Safe Space service. Engaging with this RFI allows potential suppliers to showcase their capabilities and build relationships with commissioners, potentially positioning themselves favourably for future tender opportunities in the region. ## Notice Commissioners within NHS Hastings and Rother CCG are considering commissioning a Hastings Safe Space Service under a single provider contract. The proposed service will be commissioned to deliver and monitor the impact of Safe Space, which will operate in the night-time economy in central Hastings to provide support and advice to young people aged 17-25 years and other vulnerable people. It is anticipated that the service would be offered for tender under a Standard NHS contract for a period of 3 years commencing on the 1st April 2020, with the option to extend for a further two years.
