## Summary

Medway Council is planning a tender for the Medway Assessment Centre to provide accommodation and services for individuals aged 18 and over who are experiencing rough sleeping. The upcoming procurement process, classified under the services category "Social work services with accommodation," is situated in Chatham, United Kingdom. A preliminary market engagement event is scheduled for 24 October 2025, with an online Teams meeting set to assist potential bidders in understanding the tender requirements before its anticipated launch in November 2025. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, and the contract is expected to commence between April and June 2026, with a value of £1,500,000 and facilities expected to cover 12 bed spaces with additional provisions. The final date for expressing intent to attend the engagement event is 17 October 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in social work services, particularly those experienced in managing accommodation for vulnerable groups. Companies specialising in social housing, with the capability to adapt to unique requirements such as accommodating couples and pets, will find this opportunity attractive. The procurement is suited for Registered Providers of social housing, with the tender process designed to engage capable providers to deliver sustainable and supportive environments for rough sleepers in Medway. Participation opens avenues for long-term engagements and collaboration with public authorities, as Medway Council seeks innovative solutions to combat homelessness effectively.
