Summary of the contracting process

London South Bank University initiated a procurement process for student counselling services, titled "24-033 OH-Student Counselling project_2807". This contract falls under the services category and is valued at £240,000 for a two-year period, with potential extensions. The procurement, aimed at higher education institutions, follows an open competition below the threshold. The process has reached the tender stage with the deadline for submissions set for 10th July 2025. Potential suppliers can direct enquiries until 20th June 2025. Services are expected to cover several UK regions including London (UKI) and are designated as a light touch procurement. The location and technical delivery methods are among the criteria being assessed.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs due to the suitability requirements and flexible contract extension options. Companies specialising in counselling or higher education support services have a favourable chance to leverage this opportunity, particularly those adept at providing personalised, risk-managed services geared towards HE students. With technical weighting predominant over commercial factors, businesses that excel in quality assurance, clinical outcomes, and meeting specific student needs will find themselves well-suited to compete. Engaging successfully with this tender could establish long-term collaborations with one of the UK's prominent educational institutions.
