This contract, titled "Staff Counselling," falls under the services category and is located in the South West of the United Kingdom. The tender stage is classified as active, with the contract period set to commence on 1st April 2017 and last until 31st March 2019, including options for two additional 12-month extensions. The estimated contract value is £80,000 per year, procured through an open procedure, with the tender period having concluded on 6th March 2017. This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses that provide counselling services, particularly those with capabilities to deliver tiered support systems for a diverse employee base. Ideal competitors would include organisations with experience in mental health support and the ability to manage various referral methods, serving the public sector effectively. The potential for contract renewals may further incentivise interested providers to engage, making this an attractive prospect for both large and specialised counselling firms. ## Notice Cornwall Council requires a Counselling service for ALL employees who are experiencing personal or work related mental health issues. The council requires a tiered counselling response which includes complex needs support ranging from 1-5 and a provider to support short to medium term counselling interventions. Counselling above these criteria is identified as high risk/complex (tier 5-8) and requires specialist support and will not form part of the requirements. It is however expected that the supplier will indirectly supports those very complex cases which fall outside of of the remit of the contract through referral to outside organisations in supporting the Council to source appropriate and timely alternative counselling provision. The methods of referral will be:- 1. Self Referral - Employees refer themselves to the supplier without the need to inform the Council. 2. Referral via the Councils Occupational Health clinical team The average number of employees accessing counselling services (2012-2016) was 430 per annum, 60% via occupational health and 30% via self-referral. The Council wishes to award a two year contract with the option to award 2 further 12 month extensions. The estimated value of the contract is PS80k per year.
