## Summary

The Department of Health & Social Care has concluded a tender process for the provision of counselling, trauma, and emotional support services as part of the National Maternity Unit Investigation. The contract, titled "Counselling, Trauma and Emotional Support Maternity Investigation 25", addresses the needs of affected families and individuals, alongside various professionals involved in the investigation across 10 maternity/neonatal units in the UK. The procurement, which included a direct method below the threshold without competition, began on 10th October 2025 and is active until 31st December 2025, with a possible extension up to 31st March 2026. This reflects a special 'light touch' procurement regime under the UK legal framework, with no competition involved.

This contract offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in guidance and counselling services, particularly those with experience in handling sensitive health-related matters. Large companies like People Asset Management Limited, which successfully secured the contract, are well-suited to compete in this domain, given their capability to provide comprehensive emotional support services. Such tenders can catalyse business expansion into specialised counselling services within the healthcare sector, fostering partnerships with key government bodies like the Department of Health & Social Care.
