Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Essex County Council, focuses on providing trauma support and counselling services for children, adults, and families under the "ECC Homes for Ukraine" programme in the mid-region of Essex, comprising Chelmsford, Maldon, and Braintree. The procurement is categorised under "Services" with CPV codes for guidance and counselling services. This tender was characterised by limited competition, addressing needs below the threshold. The process has advanced to completion, with an award made to South East and Central Essex Mind Limited, a large supplier, on 17 September 2025, with the contract duration from 17 September 2025 to 16 September 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those experienced in counselling and support services. The procurement by a sub-central government authority like Essex County Council offers businesses the chance to establish or strengthen relationships within the public sector. Social enterprises and voluntary community service organisations could particularly benefit and compete effectively, given the nature of the services required and the procurement method's focus on sub-threshold, community-focused competition.
