Summary of the contracting process

The County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust has completed a procurement process for the provision of an Employee Assistance Programme Service. This service falls under the category of counselling services and was awarded to Lets Connect IT Solutions Limited. The contract commenced on 1 January 2022 and will run until 31 December 2022. The procurement method used was a selective process, involving a call-off from a framework agreement, with a total contract value of £20,100. The procurement took place in the North East region of the United Kingdom, with the tender period concluding on 11 November 2021.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the counselling and employee support sectors to engage with the NHS and expand their services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts, as they can offer tailored support services that meet the needs of large organisations. With the demand for employee assistance programmes on the rise, businesses that specialise in mental health and wellbeing services should consider exploring such procurement opportunities to foster growth and establish valuable partnerships.
