The procurement falls under the services category, specifically guidance and counselling services, and was initiated through a limited competition method due to it being below threshold. The tender process is in the award stage, having been completed with South East and Central Essex Mind Limited as the supplier. The contract commenced on 27th November 2025 and will conclude on 26th November 2026, with a total contract value of £30,000 including VAT.

Large organisations like South East and Central Essex Mind Limited, with a focus on responsive and specialised counselling services, are well-suited to such contracts. The procurement method, although limited, opens prospects for businesses capable of delivering targeted support efficiently within designated communities. Participating in such contracts can enhance a company's portfolio in delivering government-funded mental health initiatives, thereby establishing a foothold in public sector projects aligned with community well-being.
