This process falls under the services category and is targeted at regions UKL15 and UKL17. The contract has been awarded as per the Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) regulations using Direct Award Process 2, which are distinct from the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 or Procurement Act 2023. The award was initially publicised as an intention on 12th March 2026, with representations by providers accepted until different standstill dates: 23rd, 24th, and 25th March 2026, at the discretion of each notice. The awarded contract, valued at £283,296, presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in health services, particularly those with experience in trauma counselling. Given that New Pathways, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Merthyr Tydfil, has secured the award, it is evident that SMEs in similar industries or with relevant expertise could thrive in this procurement landscape. Organisations focusing on innovative health service solutions, especially those experienced in direct award or selective procurement methods, are well-suited to engage with contracts under the PSR Wales framework, offering growth possibilities by expanding service offerings in government-led health initiatives. ## Notice The provision of specialist trauma informed counselling for survivors of sexual assault ### Lot Information Lot 1 This is a Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) intention to award notice, utilising Direct Award Process 2.
