## Summary

Medway Council is seeking tenders for the service titled "Somewhere Safe to Stay" aimed at providing intensive support to rough sleepers in Medway. The tender, classified under the category of Other community, social and personal services, is currently in the Tender stage with a deadline for submission set for 13th December 2018. The anticipated contract period will commence on 1st January 2019 and conclude on 30th June 2019. This open procurement process has a total estimated value of £91,000, and interested parties can deliver services within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, outreach support, and community engagement. Companies with experience in working with vulnerable populations, particularly those who may be reluctant to seek assistance, will be well-suited to apply. The emphasis on robust engagement strategies and collaborative working with other agencies suggests that providers with a strong track record of partnership and sustainable service delivery can significantly enhance their business growth through this contract.

## Notice

Medway Council wants a Medway Somewhere Safe to Stay service to provide an intensive assessment sit up provision for rough sleepers in Medway. The service will need to provide access to a space with facilities as laid out in Schedule 1, with targeted support to rough sleepers for a period of 72 hours. The overall aim is to impact positively on the number of rough sleepers on the streets of Medway who are not able to make use of widely available routes into accommodation, and who have not been able to access supported accommodation. The service must therefore include methods of engaging people who may be reluctant to accept help in getting to a single service offer within 72 hours. This will require very robust engagement strategies from the provider, who will need to work in close partnership with other statutory and voluntary agencies as applicable
