Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council procured solution-focused brief therapy as wraparound support for people taking part in employment support programmes. The service is intended for participants supported by providers that belong to the Sheffield Work & Health Local Integration Board. It covers therapy, coaching and mental wellbeing support within employment support provision, rather than general counselling detached from those programmes. The work is delivered in Sheffield, in Yorkshire and the Humber. This is a public service contract in the guidance and counselling field (CPV 85312300).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Green Tree Therapy through a direct award. The award date was 8 October 2026. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £19,000. The original submission deadline was 24 September 2026. The requirement was treated as a single service, with no separately described lots. The published information does not set out an evaluation basis or supplier eligibility requirements. The award is to one supplier; its value and contract period are stated for this award alone.

The award shows Sheffield City Council buying a focused, time-limited package of solution-focused brief therapy for employment support participants, delivered in coordination with providers in its Work & Health Local Integration Board. A credible future supplier would need to demonstrate practical capability in brief, solution-focused therapy and the ability to provide wraparound support that connects with employment programmes, including coaching and mental wellbeing support. Experience working with participants referred or supported by employment service providers, and the capacity to coordinate delivery across those providers, would be directly relevant. The direct award route used here is also relevant evidence of how this particular requirement was placed, although the procurement does not state the grounds for selecting that route.
