Govia Thameslink Rail (GTR) is seeking suppliers for the provision of counselling and psychotherapy services, with an industry classification under CPV code 85312320. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage and is set to conclude on 16th December 2024. Services will be delivered in London and South East England for a duration of three years, potentially extendable by another 12 months.

The procurement method being used is a restricted procedure, and the total contract value is approximately GBP 453,000. Businesses interested in competing must submit their proposals electronically or in written form, adhering to specific selection criteria and submission guidelines provided by GTR. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in mental health assessment, telephone counselling, EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and other therapeutic services.

The growing need for accessible mental health support aligns with the services sought by GTR, making it a valuable contract for providers focused on expanding their reach in the railway services sector. Large-scale counselling firms with registrations with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) are particularly well-suited to meet the stringent requirements set forth by GTR and could leverage this contract to enhance their service offerings and market presence.
