Summary of the contracting process

NHS England has completed a procurement process for the Professional Support & Wellbeing Service (PSW) Counselling. This service falls under the industry category of Education and training services, with a CPV classification code of 80000000. The contract was awarded on 16 September 2024 to Pro-Counselling Limited.
