Counselling and Therapeutic Services for Young People

The procurement process for "Counselling and Therapeutic Services for Young People" was conducted by Stirling Council, located in Stirling, Scotland, and culminated in the awarding of the contract. This process, classified under the services industry category, specifically addresses the provision of school counselling services for both primary and secondary age groups in Stirling.

The contract was awarded as of 1st September 2025, following a limited procurement method without prior publication, considering a specific need to address gaps in local service provision that could not be met by existing means. The award phase of the process was completed with Stirling Council acknowledging "All Minds" as the supplier, underlining the importance of addressing immediate local needs in educational settings.

Although this contract follows a limited procurement approach, it highlights the demand for specialized services that meet the nuanced needs of educational institutions. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have a strong track record of working closely with children and young people, such as "All Minds", are ideally positioned to capitalise on such opportunities, especially when the local council emphasises continuity and depth of experience in awarding contracts.
