Summary of the contracting process

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust procured multilingual counselling services for Croydon Talking Therapies. The requirement covers general counselling across the Trust’s boroughs and multi-ethnic counselling services, supporting clients whose primary diagnosis is a common mental health issue. The provider is expected to deliver evidence-based therapeutic and psychological interventions that follow NICE guidelines. The work is based in Croydon and falls within community health services, including counselling services. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply, construction or facilities contract. It would suit organisations providing counselling and psychological interventions to diverse communities, particularly those able to support multilingual and multi-ethnic client groups within an NHS talking-therapies setting.

The procurement is complete and was run as an open procedure under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026, with evaluation beginning on 16 July 2026. One bid was recorded. Dr Julian Medical Group Ltd was awarded the contract on 1 August 2026, and the contract is active. The awarded contract value is £81,240 including the contract signed date; the tender estimate was £60,000. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2029, with an option to extend for two further 12-month periods. The requirement was evaluated on price. The process used one lot, which is recorded as cancelled despite the active award and contract. Submissions were accepted electronically or in writing, in English.

This award demonstrates demand from South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust for specialist counselling delivered to diverse communities through a talking-therapies service. A credible future competitor would need qualified counselling and psychological-intervention capability, with experience supporting people with common mental health problems and delivering care in line with NICE guidance. Multilingual provision and an understanding of multi-ethnic counselling are central to the requirement, so suppliers need access to appropriately skilled practitioners who can work effectively with varied client groups. NHS or comparable community mental-health delivery experience would help demonstrate operational readiness, safeguarding awareness and the ability to provide a dependable service across the Trust’s boroughs. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider, rather than only by a large national organisation.
