## Summary

The University of Bath, located in Bath, United Kingdom, has recently completed the procurement process for the Provision of Student Support & Safeguarding Services, specifically Lot A for Counselling Services. This process was classified under the services category and conducted through an open competition method, as it was below the threshold. The procurement reached the award stage on 10th July 2026, just after the award was announced on 9th July 2026. The contracting authority engaged Bath Minds as the supplier, with the contract term set to commence on 3rd August 2026 and conclude on 2nd August 2028. The awarded contract is valued at £70,000 and covers services such as guidance and counselling, targeting enhanced student welfare.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in therapeutic and counselling services to explore similar procurement avenues and engage in competitive tendering processes with public authorities. By demonstrating capabilities in providing high-quality support and safeguarding services, businesses can position themselves to secure government contracts, thus expanding their client base and enhancing their service portfolios. Organisations equipped to provide comprehensive, quality-driven support services, particularly those able to address specific needs of student welfare, are well-suited to compete in such tenders. As seen in this case, the emphasis on open competition can provide SMEs and VCSEs with potential growth pathways, even though this specific tender was awarded to a large-scale service provider.
