Proposed supervised contact, what to do next

Hi
I have today proposed supervised contact for our 6 year old son as I have major concerns over his dads recent behaviour and catalogue or lies and highly suspect drug abuse. Car smells of weed and he has cocaine and weed history. I explained in a group text to him, his parents and my parents that was what I proposed. I had spoken to his parents about it before doing it and they are on board with me and willing to be the supervisors. He has retaliated in an explosive fashion to this proposal as predicted and not given his parents chance to discuss things and has stormed off. He is currently living with parents and no job. He has sent in his last text reply that he will cooperate with mediation and a parenting plan etc, but hasn't actually asked me to respond or put forward any mediation plan etc.
Should I make contact this evening to let him speak to our son as he usually does or should I wait for him to contact me? I am happy for lines of communication to stay open with him and I did point that out on my first message to him.
This has been going on for years the constant lying and verbal abuse etc and enough has got enough and since having no job he has got worse and seems to me and others around him that he is on something which is making his behaviour off the charts!!
Many thanks for reading and look forward to hearing anyone else's experiences and any advice with how to proceed.

Thanks x
