Summary of the contracting process

The Aberdeenshire Council is conducting a procurement process for the contract titled "School Counsellor Training and Supervision" within the public services sector. Located in Aberdeen, this procurement is at the award stage, with the contract value set at £163,777. The tender was officially completed on 1st February 2021. This procurement utilised an open procedure, allowing a wide range of suppliers to participate in the competitive tendering process for the training of trainee school counsellors and supervision of existing qualified counsellors.

This opportunity is particularly relevant for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in training and counselling services, as the successful bidder is expected to manage the training and supervision of up to ten trainee school counsellors, while also providing oversight for two qualified counsellors. Businesses that specialise in education services, mental health training, or professional supervision are well-positioned to compete for this tender. Additionally, the contract may offer avenues for continued engagement with Aberdeenshire Council, given the potential for renewal after the initial term.

Notice Information

Notice Title

School Counsellor Training and Supervision

Notice Description

Train trainee school counsellors to complete a diploma in counselling, and provide supervision, support and impact reporting for both trainee and qualified counsellors.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The 2018-19 Programme for Government stated that around 350 new counsellor positions would be created in Scotland. Each local authority has been allocated funding to implement this. Aberdeenshire Council (the Council) has been unable to recruit enough qualified, accredited counsellors with appropriate experience of working with children and young people to meet this expectation. The Council will therefore recruit a combination of qualified School Counsellors and Trainee School Counsellors, the latter of which will be sponsored to undertake a diploma in counselling. The successful tenderer will be responsible for training and supervising trainee school counsellors (10) as well as supervising already qualified counsellors (2).

Renewal: Initial duration of 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2, 1 year extensions subject to satisfactory performance.
