The tender was published on 11th July 2016, with the submission deadline set for 19th August 2016. The contract period is scheduled to commence on 1st February 2017 and conclude on 31st January 2022. The procurement falls under the guidance and counselling services category, particularly within the UK, specifically in the North West region.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) to grow their business capabilities in the counselling services industry. The successful bidder will not only provide essential support services to the fire and rescue personnel but may also expand their reach through potential partnerships with other local authorities. Businesses that specialise in employee assistance programmes, mental health support, and counselling services would be particularly well-suited to participate in this tender, enabling them to establish long-term relationships with public sector clients.
