## Summary

Somerset Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of counselling services, specifically targeting individuals dealing with addictions. This service aims to support vulnerable clients in overcoming addictions, maintaining stability, or receiving trauma support. The procurement falls under the 'services' category and was conducted using a direct method, below the threshold, without competition. The contract was awarded on 30th March 2025 to Humble Beginnings Counselling, with services commencing on 31st March 2025 and set to end on 31st March 2026. The total contract value is £30,000, with work being delivered in the UKK2 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specializing in counselling services, physical and mental well-being, or addiction rehabilitation. The selection of Humble Beginnings Counselling, an SME, underscores the potential for smaller organisations to partner with public authorities like Somerset Council. Businesses with expertise in psychological support and community health services could leverage similar opportunities to build partnerships and expand their operations within the public sector.
