The subject of the contract is the provision of Accompanying Measures under the Operation ‘Actions Network to address Material Deprivation in the Region of Peloponnese – Social Solidarity Network’ with MIS code 6006458, which has been included in the Programme ‘Human Resources & Social Cohesion 2021-2027’. The area of implementation of the project is the entire geographical area of the Peloponnese Region. The operation ‘Actions to address Material Deprivation in the Region of Peloponnese – Social Solidarity Network’ (OPS 6006458) with the Region of Peloponnese as beneficiary, addresses material deprivation by providing food and/or basic material assistance to the most deprived persons, including children, and providing accompanying measures to support their social inclusion, in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/1057 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 24 June 2021 establishing the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1296/2013. The main objective of the Act is to provide food assistance through distribution of food to the target group, i.e. people suffering from material deprivation, as well as distribution of basic material assistance items, i.e. items that meet daily dignified living needs. Emphasis will be placed on supporting children both through the distribution of special items such as baby food, milk for infants and children, as well as personal hygiene and cleaning items, and by differentiating the package distributed according to the composition of the family and the existence of children in it. Beneficiaries are: • Persons and households experiencing extreme poverty and in need of support with food aid and material deprivation, according to the income and property criteria to be defined by decision of the Minister of Social Cohesion and Family. The subject of the Action "Provision of Accompanying Measures" of the Act is (indicatively): referral to social and health services, provision of social and health services, including psychological support, psychosocial support, empowerment and social inclusion services at family level (or even to single people) with a focus on children and young people, provision of relevant information on public services or advice on family budget management, nutritional and healthy nutrition advice, child socialisation services (e.g. access to sports activities, etc.), implementation of cultural and creative activities supporting the process of social inclusion and tackling discrimination for children and young people, social tutoring for children, etc., ensuring equal conditions of information, access and accessibility for beneficiaries. The Service Provider selected following an open procedure will undertake the implementation of Accompanying Measures throughout the Region of Peloponnese with the aim of empowering and socially integrating the beneficiaries of the operation based on their profile. The main tools of the reintegration process are the "recognition" of the real situation of the family and its members and the implementation of group and individual "empowerment" plans. The implementation of a comprehensive package of accompanying measures to support the beneficiaries of the operation presupposes • the recognition of their real situation • the diagnosis of their needs both at family level and at an individual level, • the use of tools as well as • the development of a "network" of cooperation of local social structures. For this reason, the design of the actions is finalized following a research diagnosing the needs of the beneficiaries at the beginning of the Accompanying Measures project and has a dynamic character, i.e. it is adapted to the needs of the beneficiaries and the changing conditions during the period of its implementation (at least three years).
