Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Lanarkshire is currently concluding a procurement process titled "Provision of Confidential Counselling Services," which focuses on delivering counselling services to its staff. This tender falls under the services procurement category and is located in the UKM8 region. The tender has progressed through the stages and has reached its award phase, with a contract value of £332,500, signed on 25th March 2022. Previously, the tender had a deadline for submissions set for 12th January 2022, following an extension due to public holidays, with the procurement following an open procedure as its method.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on mental health and counselling services, particularly those with accreditation from professional bodies such as BACP or COSCA. Companies that specialise in providing confidential counselling services and have a solid background in occupational health would be especially well-suited to compete for the position of a sole supplier to NHS Lanarkshire. Given the active engagement of suppliers and the contract's potential for extension, this is a strategic opportunity for those looking to expand their footprint within the health sector.
