The procurement falls under the 'services' category, specifically probation services, and operates under a light-touch regime. The procurement method was direct, below the threshold, and conducted without competition. The contract commenced on 1st August 2026 and will continue until 31st March 2027, valued at £49,999. This process involved award and contract stages, with the awarding completed by 27th July 2026. The primary location is Newcastle upon Tyne, with the buying organization situated in London.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses engaged in providing trauma-informed counselling services with a focus on addressing emotional distress within community groups. Specifically, large-scale organizations or cooperatives with expertise in counselling services and the ability to meet community needs beyond traditional psychological services would be well-suited to similar future opportunities. The successful supplier for this contract was the Community Counselling Cooperative, indicating a competitive edge for large-scale voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) in this procurement segment.
