Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Fire and Rescue Authority has completed a procurement process for the provision of interim counselling services, specifically designed to support the health and wellbeing of its employees. The service involves face-to-face counselling at their Birmingham headquarters, offering three days of sessions weekly, comprising five one-hour clinics each day. The service is categorised under the healthcare services industry focusing on psychiatrist or psychologist services within the United Kingdom's West Midlands region. This tender was conducted using a limited procurement method, tailored for competition below a certain threshold, culminating in an active contract award on 27th March 2026. The contract, titled "WMFS Interim Counselling Services," commenced on 7th April 2026 and is set to conclude on 6th October 2026, with a contract value of £31,200, excluding VAT.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in psychological services to engage with a public authority and gain a foothold in public-sector contracting. Particularly suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in healthcare and employee wellbeing, it allows them to showcase their capabilities in a high-profile regional setting. Given the specific focus on face-to-face counselling, companies with a robust track record in delivering effective psychological services will likely be well-positioned to compete in such opportunities, enhancing their visibility and growth potential in the public sector.
