## Summary

Stirling Council is overseeing a procurement process titled "School Counselling and Therapeutic Services" aimed at providing school counselling services for young people within the Stirling region (UKM77). The procurement is categorised under general public services in the services industry category and is currently in the award stage, having been completed. This contract, valued at £149,649, is notable for its limited procurement method, as it was awarded without prior publication of a call for competition, adhering to the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act and relevant guidelines.
