## Summary

The Perth & Kinross Council has awarded the contract for Group Youth Work in Schools - Lifelink, providing additional counseling services with a focus on group sessions to expand support for young people. The procurement method was direct, without competition, and the contract is now active. The tender period started on January 10, 2024, and the contract was signed on January 9, 2024.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the education and training services sector to engage with Perth & Kinross Council, directly contributing to mental health support in schools. Suppliers with expertise in counseling services for young people would be well-suited to compete for this contract, enabling them to deliver impactful solutions and support the council's initiative in enhancing accessibility to mental health services.

## 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.
