## Summary

Medway Council initiated a public procurement process titled "Medway Assessment Centre (MAC)," which falls under the accommodation services industry category. Located in Chatham, UK within the UKJ41 region, this procurement process was conducted using an open procedure, permissible for electronic submissions, and part of a special 'lightTouch' regime. The tender aimed to provide accommodation and support to individuals experiencing rough sleeping and dealing with complex needs. While the active tender process began on 25th February 2026, it formally concluded on 30th March 2026 due to budgetary constraints leading to cancellation. Despite the termination, the procurement had originally scheduled an award decision by 13th April 2026, with the contract slated to begin on 1st June 2026 and run through to 31st May 2029, with an extension option available for an additional 12 months.

This procurement opportunity was designed to attract businesses specialising in accommodation services, particularly those adept in handling complex social needs. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative solutions for socially impactful service delivery would have been well-suited to this contract. Despite its cancellation, such tenders provide significant opportunities for relevant businesses to establish their capabilities in public service sectors, strengthening client relationships and enhancing their business growth potential in future procurements. The tender valued at a competitive £1,000,000 GBP offered a weighted evaluation approach focusing primarily on price alongside social value and technical solution quality, promoting enterprise engagement from diverse service providers.
