Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Counselling Service for Refugees," aimed at providing short-term counselling support to refugees and asylum seekers. The procurement was conducted through an open competition model, below threshold, and was concluded with an award date of 29th May 2026. This contract is to be delivered in the UKH12 region, encompassing Cambridge, targeting the integration and mental health support of refugees within the community. This initiative addresses post-traumatic stress disorder amongst other mental health issues, with the view to reducing barriers to education, training, or employment opportunities. The procurement phase has transitioned from tender to award and then to contract, with WELLBEING FORUS LIMITED successfully contracted to deliver these services till March 2027, with a potential for renewal up to March 2029.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and social enterprises sensitive to the needs of vulnerable populations, such as refugees. Businesses with expertise in social work, counselling, and mental health services would find this contract particularly fitting, given the specialised nature of the services sought. The demand for tailored support to refugees offers a platform for businesses to leverage their expertise in mental health solutions, community integration programmes, and associated services. Companies experienced in working with public authorities and delivering services that facilitate integration and support mental health would be well positioned to benefit from such tenders now and in future opportunities of a similar nature.
