Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Justice has awarded a contract for the provision of safeguarding and trauma support services during the Nottingham Inquiry, following a competitive quotation process. This service contract, classified under counselling services (CPV Code 85312320), reflects the Ministry’s commitment to addressing trauma concerns associated with the inquiry. The procurement was conducted under a limited procurement method due to its value below the threshold, amounting to £91,660.75. The contract is effective from 20th February 2026 to 30th September 2026, covering multiple regions and territories including the United Kingdom, Europe, and several other international locations.

This tender creates an opportunity for businesses in the counselling and trauma support industry to expand their services and clientele by participating in such high-profile inquiries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-suited to compete in these tenders, although the contract for this specific process was awarded to Hestia Housing and Support, indicating the value of established experience in this sector. Organisations with expertise in offering comprehensive mental health support and counselling services can leverage such projects to enhance their reputation and service scope, especially those considering partnerships with governmental bodies like the Ministry of Justice.
