## Summary

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council has issued a tender for "Employee Counselling Services" in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. The procurement aims to find a supplier capable of providing qualified counsellors/therapists for one-to-one therapeutic counselling sessions, available in-person or virtually based on the employee's preference.

The contract is valued at £240,000 and will run from 4 November 2024 to 3 November 2026, with the tender period closing on 3 September 2024.

Successful participation could lead to substantial business growth through sustained government partnerships and increased visibility in the public sector.
