This active tender was published on 30th January 2019, with a submission deadline set for 5th February 2019. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 1st April 2019 and will extend to 31st March 2022. It aims to enhance mental health services through the provision of specialist counselling and CBT services, classified under health services, specifically targeting medical specialist services and psychiatric or psychological services. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health counselling and CBT, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
