Summary of the contracting process

The University of Edinburgh has recently completed a procurement process for Emergency Student Counselling Services aimed at addressing a backlog of required services before the academic year concludes. This initiative falls under the services category and was carried out in Edinburgh. The procurement, initiated as a tender, has reached the award stage, with the contract signed on 25th April 2022 for a total value of £100,000. The formal communication regarding the award can be found in details provided by the contracting authority.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the mental health and counselling sector, particularly those capable of providing temporary emergency services within a tight timeframe. Companies that specialise in counselling support, particularly those with the capacity to mobilise quickly and meet key performance indicators, would find this an ideal bidding opportunity. Additionally, larger established suppliers, such as Randstad HR Solutions Ltd, have previously participated, suggesting that while competition exists, there is potential for new entrants to carve out a niche in the education sector's mental health service provision.
