Summary of the contracting process

Aneurin Bevan University Health Board bought counselling services across Wales through a multi-lot framework agreement. The requirement covered three service types: face-to-face counselling; virtual or remote counselling; and face-to-face EMDR and CT-PTSD counselling. The procurement’s main category was counselling services (CPV 85312320), with guidance and counselling services also included. NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services managed the procurement on behalf of the Health Board. The framework supports delivery in the Health Board’s service area in Wales. It was designed for providers able to deliver psychological counselling remotely, in person, or with specialist EMDR and CT-PTSD capability, depending on the relevant service type.

The procurement has been awarded under the Provider Selection Regime for Wales, following an open procedure for a framework agreement with up to nine participants. The three lots were awarded separately. Health Is One Ltd was awarded face-to-face counselling and EMDR and CT-PTSD counselling; virtual or remote counselling was awarded to Adferiad Recovery Limited, Health Is One Ltd and Platfform. Contracts were signed on 5 January 2026, with service periods from 19 January 2026 to 18 January 2030. Each lot’s contract value is £333,333.33, while the framework contracts are each recorded at £1,000,000. Awards were based on quality weighted at 40% and price at 60%.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from Aneurin Bevan University Health Board for a broad counselling provider market, including both face-to-face and remote delivery and specialist trauma-focused provision. A credible future competitor would need to show the operational ability to provide counselling at Health Board scale across Wales, with suitable systems for virtual appointments and capacity for in-person services. Providers targeting the specialist requirement would need demonstrable EMDR and CT-PTSD counselling capability. The results also show that smaller organisations can compete: the recorded successful suppliers include small and medium-sized enterprises, and five of the six bids for virtual or remote counselling came from SMEs. A strong offer would need to balance service quality with competitive pricing.
