Therapeutic Intervention Services

East Lothian Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of Therapeutic Intervention Services, with the contract awarded to MYPAS. The tender, identified as ELC-25-0508, aimed to secure therapeutic support services primarily in schools for children aged 10 to 18, available year-round and flexible in delivery locations. The procurement was carried out as an open procedure, following the main procurement category of services, with guidance and counselling services as the industry focus.

The contract, valued at approximately £1,439,694, was signed on 19th August 2025 and covers the region of East Lothian (UKM73). The procurement stage has moved from active tender to contract award. This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in children’s mental health services, particularly those offering counselling or art therapy.

The focus on service delivery within schools, community spaces, and online demands bidders with adaptable service models. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) that are compliant with necessary professional registrations and demonstrate a strong commitment to quality may find this opportunity promising. The emphasis on long-term service availability offers substantial growth and engagement potential for skilled providers in the therapeutic sector, especially those that can deliver community benefits as outlined by the buyer.
