## Summary

Medway Council is currently conducting an open tender for "The Provision of Domestic Abuse Dispersed, Safe Housing and Support" in the Medway area. This procurement process is at the active tender stage, with submissions due by 27th September 2021. The contract, valued at £300,000, seeks to establish a service to provide dispersed accommodation for survivors of domestic abuse, requiring 15 to 20 flexible, self-contained housing units. The aim is to cater to a variety of needs including those with complex circumstances and larger family units.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in community and social services, especially those with experience in providing housing solutions or support services for vulnerable populations. Companies capable of offering a diverse range of property options, such as 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom units, including shared housing for same-sex placements, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this contract could allow businesses to expand their impact in the community while contributing to essential support structures for domestic abuse survivors.

## Notice

In response to the introduction of the new Domestic Abuse Act, Medway Council is looking to commission a service to provide a Domestic Abuse, Dispersed, Safe Housing and Support model in the Medway Area. This dispersed, safe model will sit alongside Medway's established refuge provision and will provide both accommodation and support to survivors of domestic abuse, and where applicable their children. Dispersed accommodation provides a local safe option that would cater for people with complex needs, male survivors, survivors with emotional support animals and pets, larger family units, those with male children over 16 years old. This commission calls for 15 to 20 units/beds of local (in the Medway area) dispersed accommodation. We are looking for the units proposed primarily to be flexible (i.e., where required able to be rotated) and self-contained. A variety of property options is preferable and could be a mix of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom properties. This commission can include a small proportion of shared units (HMO) for same sex placements.
