## Summary

Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council is overseeing the procurement process for the "Families First Integrated Counselling Services 2026." Situated in the UK region of Merthyr Tydfil, this initiative falls under the services category, specifically targeting guidance and counselling services. The procurement stage initially reached the tender phase in November 2025 but was subsequently cancelled in January 2026 due to the inability of the sole tenderer to fulfil the specified service requirements. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, reflecting a transparent and competitive approach, with the original tender submission deadline set for December 2025.

This tender represents an extended business opportunity, targeting companies specialised in counselling and guidance services. It is particularly suited for SMEs and VCSE organisations that can leverage their technical ability and competitive pricing strategies. The contract, initially valued at approximately £893,000 with a maximum potential value of £1,071,600, was set to commence in April 2026 and offered a significant potential duration up to 2031, including optional extensions based on performance and funding continuity. Businesses looking to expand in integrated family counselling services could benefit substantially from such procurement, highlighting a potential resubmission opportunity if the project is retendered.
