## Summary

The Government Commercial Agency procured counselling and trauma education services for delivery at Bradford Court, the buyer’s premises, and at the supplier’s premises where necessary. This is a services requirement covering counselling and education relating to trauma, classified as counselling services (CPV 85312320). The recorded delivery country is the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to organisations providing structured counselling, trauma-informed education or related support services, particularly those able to work across client and provider premises. The appointed provider, Wave Trauma Centre, is based in Belfast and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wave Trauma Centre on 27 April 2026. The award value is £0 GBP. The contract runs from 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Bids were due by 27 April 2026 at 3:00pm. The route was a limited procedure using a competitive quotation below the threshold. The requirement was evaluated through that quotation process; no separate award-criteria weighting is recorded. The award is active, and the contract period matches the planned service period. The successful supplier is Wave Trauma Centre. This outcome shows that the Government Commercial Agency used a below-threshold competitive quotation route for a one-year counselling and trauma education requirement delivered in the United Kingdom.

This procurement is useful market evidence for counselling providers, trauma specialists and voluntary or community organisations seeking work with the Government Commercial Agency. A credible future competitor would need to deliver both counselling and trauma education, work at a public-sector site such as Bradford Court, and provide services from its own premises when required. Organisations should be able to demonstrate practical experience supporting people affected by trauma, qualified staff capable of delivering counselling, and the ability to provide clear, structured educational content. The buyer’s acceptance of an SME and VCSE indicates that smaller specialist providers can be relevant to this requirement. Suppliers should also be prepared to compete through a concise, below-threshold quotation process rather than a large formal tender.
