Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the Student Counselling Service is led by Edinburgh College, which is located in Edinburgh, UK. This public procurement falls under the education industry category and was initiated through a selective method. The award notice for this tender was finalised on 31st July 2020, highlighting the need for comprehensive counselling services that can accommodate the demands of a large college with multiple campuses. The services must be provided across four campuses in Edinburgh and Midlothian and may include virtual access. Bidders were required to ensure their counsellors are accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA).

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in student counselling services, particularly those with experience in managing large-scale programmes and offering flexible delivery options. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to compete, especially given that a significant number of bids received came from SME suppliers. The emphasis on professional accreditation also suggests that businesses with proven credentials in the counselling sector will have a competitive advantage in this procurement process.
