Tender description

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.

About the buyer

Medway Council governs the Medway towns in Kent, and buys as a local authority with its own central procurement team. All contracting opportunities are advertised on the Kent Business Portal, where suppliers can search live tenders and set up email alerts. Suppliers must also register on the Central Digital Platform, a requirement since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect. Dynamic purchasing systems cover recurring needs such as SEND transport, supported living and agency staff recruitment. Premarket engagement with suppliers shapes tender requirements before contracts go live. The council also publishes its full contracts register on the same portal.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Medway Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and health and social work.
