This process reached the award stage with a direct award method under the Provider Selection Regime - Direct Award Process C, and is outside the scope of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The standstill period began on 30th March 2026, with providers needing to submit representations by 13th April 2026.

Businesses similar to North East Counselling Services C.I.C., the awarded supplier, would find this contract suitable due to the needs it addresses and the regional focus. Companies operating in the UKC region, particularly those with expertise in health services and having a small to medium-sized enterprise structure, may find this tender advantageous due to the contractual option for extension based on performance and fiscal readiness. By adhering to the Provider Selection Regime process, organisations can demonstrate their capabilities in delivering high-standard services, thereby amplifying their market presence in public procurement contracts.
