## Summary

The Bradford Metropolitan District Council is seeking a qualified counselling provider to deliver short-term, solution-focused counselling services as part of an initiative aimed at improving employee health and wellbeing. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, following an open tender commencement on 6th September 2021, with a submission deadline set for 6th October 2021. The contract will last for two years, with the possibility of two additional 12-month extensions. The estimated value of this contract is £500,000, and services are intended to be delivered in the Bradford area (Region UKE41).

This tender offers significant opportunities for counselling and mental health service providers, particularly those specialising in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitisation reprogramming (EMDR). Providers who can demonstrate a robust method for delivering integrative approaches to counselling would be well-suited to compete. With a high number of bids submitted (10 in total), including many from non-EU suppliers, the competitive landscape is set yet presents a chance for businesses to expand their client base by partnering with a regional authority committed to employee wellbeing.
