Medway Lived Experience Recovery Organisation

Medway Council is conducting an open tender process for a project titled "Medway Lived Experience Recovery Organisation." This initiative aims to commission an independent organisation primarily led by individuals with lived experience in drug and alcohol recovery. It seeks to enhance service delivery and outcomes through collaborative efforts while maintaining its independence.

The tender falls under the "Health services" industry category, specifically focusing on miscellaneous health services, and will operate across the UKJ41 region in the United Kingdom. This tender is in the active stage with an enquiry period ending on 9 February 2026 and a submission deadline of 25 February 2026. The procurement method is below threshold open competition, and the total contract value is £40,000 over a period from 16 March 2026 to 30 August 2028.

This tender provides a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) to engage in a meaningful project within the health services sector. Businesses with expertise in health service delivery and a focus on recovery initiatives and community-led programmes would be ideal contenders. With an emphasis on quality, price, and social value, this contract offers the potential for business growth through collaboration with public authorities and enhancing service outcomes in the local community.

Moreover, the project's scope to work with existing services promises an avenue for business integration into a broader health ecosystem.
