## Summary

The Medway Council, a regional or local authority, is planning a tender for the Medway Domestic Abuse Service. This service falls under the health and social work services category and aims to provide safe and relevant accommodation as part of the Kent and Medway Domestic Abuse Strategy 2024-2029. The procurement is at the planning stage, with a future notice date set for October 25, 2023, indicating upcoming opportunities for businesses interested in this sector.

This tender by the Medway Council presents opportunities for businesses focused on health and social work services, particularly those experienced in providing community-based support for individuals affected by domestic abuse. As the procurement progresses, businesses specialised in delivering IDVA based support and related services will find this tender well-suited for their expertise, aligning with the statutory duties outlined in the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 and other associated national strategies.

## Notice

There is a statutory duty under Part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 for local authorities to complete a needs assessment and have a strategy in relation to the provision of safe and relevant accommodation. Whilst the duty is in relation to housing, the upcoming Kent and Medway Domestic Abuse Strategy 2024-2029 is a partnership document that also outlines Medway's ambitions in relation to delivering community-based support and this includes the continuation of commissioning IDVA based support. The service is informed nationally by strategies and legislation, such as the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy (VAWG), the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 and The Women's Health Strategy for England 2022.
