Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Online Counselling Reboot Programme" was conducted by the Police & Crime Commissioner for Sussex, operating in the public authority sub-central government sector. The tender, officially identified as JPS2009, focused on providing online counselling services aimed at young people aged 10-17 involved with Sussex Police's Early Intervention Programme. This initiative is crucial for addressing issues such as anxiety, bereavement, and trauma among young people in the UK. The contract stage was completed, with the contract awarded on 1st April 2025 to Spurgeons, a large-scale supplier. The programme will be delivered across several UK regions, including UKC, UKD, UKE, UKF, and others, with services running from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, and potential extensions up to 2029.

This procurement presents particular opportunities for businesses specialising in counselling services, especially those with expertise in online support platforms. With a gross contract value of £9,286,200, the requirement for flexibility and secure online delivery creates growth potential for technology-driven counselling service providers. Companies with experience in delivering youth-focused support services that adhere to British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy standards are especially well-suited to compete for such contracts, as these competencies align closely with the programme's objectives and delivery method.

Notice Description
