## Summary

Chelmsford City Council has completed the award stage for the "Employee Assistance Programme Award" contract, classified under guidance and counselling services (CPV 85312300). The contract, valued at £35,000, involves providing an employee assistance programme and is part of a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2028, with services delivered in the East of England.

This tender represents a valuable business opportunity for companies providing guidance and counselling services, particularly those experienced in occupational health and employee assistance programmes. As the awarded supplier, PAM WELLBEING LIMITED, demonstrates, larger businesses are well suited to compete for such contracts. However, the project is also appropriate for SMEs seeking to expand their footprint in the public sector by leveraging framework agreements. This process encourages competition and could lead to increased collaboration and growth opportunities within the industry.
