## Summary

The Perth & Kinross Council has awarded a contract for the provision of group work in schools to Mindspace Limited. The contract, with an estimated value of £6000, falls under the services category and was awarded through a direct procurement method. The contract was signed on 13th December 2023 and the tender period ran from 8th January 2024 to 27th June 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses that specialize in providing counselling or educational services to schools, particularly those focusing on secondary education and mental health support for young people. The procurement stage has reached the award phase, indicating that the contract has been finalised. Businesses in the education or mental health sector with expertise in group counselling and therapy services would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities within the public procurement sector.

## Notice

Perth & Kinross Council are in a position to allocate additional funding to expand counselling services in schools to include group work. This additional service would not reduce the current delivery of 1:1 counselling in schools but would allow for an additional flexible approach where the practitioner would work with a select small group of children and young people. The aim would be to increase accessibility by providing a less intensive option to receive support.Group sessions should allow young people to normalise their feelings and experiences. It should be an opportunity to learn about themselves, their thinking patterns and review coping strategies that support their resilience and social relations.
