The contract aims to support students with both in-person and online counselling services, catering to students across its main Middlesbrough campus, as well as locations in London, Darlington, and an online cohort. The procurement process is in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submission set for 30th May 2025, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 1st August 2025, lasting until 31st July 2030. The contract, valued at £500,000, falls under the 'Counselling services' category and employs an open procedure method, with a specific focus on the North East region of the UK. This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in counselling services, particularly those capable of providing experienced and qualified personnel. It presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to expand their client base and contribute to the University's holistic approach to student welfare. Companies equipped to offer both face-to-face and virtual support are well-positioned to compete for the contract, thereby enhancing their portfolio and establishing long-term relationships in the education sector. ## Notice For the last two years Teesside University has enhanced our student wellbeing offer through the provision of an external counselling service provided on a call out contract basis. The call out service enables us to ensure short waiting times for support as well as manage times of peak demand across the year. Over the last two years the call-out contract has become an integral element of the University's wellbeing provision and we are looking to continue this provision. Teesside University offers a range of ways for students to study at higher education. As well as our main Middlesbrough campus we also have campuses in London and Darlington as well as an online only student cohort. It is important that all students are able to access an equitable service and we are seeking a provider who can provide counselling both in person in Teesside as well as on-line/virtual counselling. We are seeking to contract an experienced provider of counselling services who can provide suitably qualified counsellors to meet the needs of Teesside University Students. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59865ac2-28d0-4a24-a9a6-7a60966cdfca | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | 30 May 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Jul 2025 - 31 Jul 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TEESSIDE UNIVERSITY | | Locality | MIDDLESBROUGH | | Post town | Cleveland | | Postcode | TS1 3BX | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC32 South Teesside | | Local authority | Middlesbrough | | Electoral ward | Central | | Westminster constituency | Middlesbrough and Thornaby East | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85312320 - Counselling services ## Release History - 25 Apr 2025 at 09:05 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59865ac2-28d0-4a24-a9a6-7a60966cdfca ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/59865ac2-28d0-4a24-a9a6-7a60966cdfca 25th April 2025 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-Middlesbrough:-Student-Counselling-Call-Out-Service/CVX4328VW2 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
