## Summary

Coleg Gwent is seeking an employee assistance programme for its employees. The service falls within workplace health and counselling, including guidance and counselling services. Delivery is required in the Newport and Monmouthshire areas of Wales. The requirement is for staff support rather than a wider public-facing service, and is structured as a single lot. Suppliers able to provide employee assistance services across the college’s workforce should consider whether they can cover both delivery areas and meet the service’s round-the-clock availability requirement.

Coleg Gwent invited offers through an open competition, and the process reached the tender stage. The buyer set an enquiry deadline of 16 October 2026 at 12:00 and a bid deadline of 23 October 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, with an optional one-year extension to 1 November 2029. The estimated value is £9,000 excluding VAT (£10,800 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% on service quality and 30% on price. Electronic submission is permitted through the eTender Wales portal.

The requirement suits employee assistance programme providers with the capacity to support Coleg Gwent staff throughout the week and at weekends, with 24/7 coverage. Suppliers should be able to deliver workplace counselling and related employee guidance across the Newport and Monmouthshire areas. The buyer indicates that small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises are suitable, making this a potential fit for specialist providers as well as larger organisations. Service quality carries greater evaluation weight than price, so bidders should be prepared to show how their service will provide effective, dependable staff support as well as offer competitive pricing.
