The process has advanced to the award update stage as of 2 April 2026, with the contract period commencing on 22 September 2024 and concluding on 21 September 2027. NHS England, located at Wellington House, London, is the buying organisation overseeing this tender, and Pro-Counselling Limited, based in Reading, has been awarded the contract.
