This framework will be managed across Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Coventry, Solihull, and Herefordshire using an open procurement procedure. The procurement process, now at the award stage, began on 8 October 2024, with key contracts having been signed on 24 September 2024. The initial contract term is set to start on 1 November 2024 and will last until 28 February 2027. The procurement comprises 25 individual lots, each representing different therapeutic interventions such as psychotherapy, play therapy, EMDR, and art therapy. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in therapeutic services, especially those focusing on children and family counselling. Firms offering play therapy, psychotherapy, and various specialised therapies could find an exciting market within this framework. Given the open procurement method, the tender is highly accessible, offering a fair opportunity for both established and emerging therapeutic providers to compete.
