The procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with an end date for submissions set for 30th September 2023. The project is valued at £254,400 and follows an open procedure, allowing for various suppliers to apply. The contract will commence on 1st October 2023 and will run until 30th September 2026. This tender presents excellent opportunities for businesses specialising in guidance and counselling services, particularly those that can deliver flexible therapeutic interventions. Companies that focus on mental health support, youth services, or community health could significantly benefit from this contract. The Pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System approach offers numerous suppliers the chance to be approved for service delivery, creating a competitive landscape where small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are likely to thrive. ## Notice Bedford Borough Council ('the Council') has a requirement for ad-hoc packages of therapeutic support, based on the needs of individual children, young people and families. Referrals are based on the recommendations of assessments by BBC practitioners or statutory partners (e.g. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, Community Health Services, Youth Offending Service) that the service user's education, care or health needs can best be met by specialist intervention. This Contract will function as a Pseudo-Dynamic Purchasing System (ps-DPS), from which individual Services will be called off when required. There is no limit to the number of Suppliers who may be approved to deliver Services under this Contract; however, Suppliers should note that approval on the ps-DPS is no guarantee of receiving work.
