## Summary

The Carmarthenshire County Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Independent School and Community-based Counselling Services, aimed at addressing health, emotional, and social needs for secondary aged pupils across its maintained schools in Carmarthenshire. This procurement falls under the services category and was conducted via an open procedure, with the contract signed on 31st May 2022, amounting to £1.7 million.
