Guidance and Counselling Tenders and Contracts
See open guidance and counselling tenders and awarded contracts for the UK public sector.
Guidance and counselling procurement covers employee assistance programmes and workplace counselling, and community counselling for children and adults commissioned by health bodies. Student and school counselling, including panels of providers and round-the-clock helplines, also comes up. Careers guidance for young people and jobseekers sits alongside.
Demand comes from councils, universities, NHS trusts and integrated care boards, fire and rescue services and central government departments. Many awards are below-threshold contracts under the light touch regime, and larger workplace schemes are sometimes called off from a framework or split into lots.

What does "guidance and counselling services" cover in public procurement?
Guidance and counselling services cover employee assistance and workplace counselling, student and school counselling, and careers guidance and advice for young people or jobseekers. Some contracts bundle these together, others are let separately.
Who buys guidance and counselling services in the UK?
Councils, NHS trusts and integrated care boards, universities and combined authorities are regular buyers. Fire and rescue authorities and central government departments also run these contracts for staff wellbeing.
How are guidance and counselling contracts procured?
Many guidance and counselling contracts run as open tenders for a single supplier, awarded under the Procurement Act's light touch regime for health and social services. Larger public bodies sometimes call off from an existing framework agreement or set up a panel of providers instead of running a fresh competition.
Can smaller or specialist providers bid for these contracts?
Yes. Many notices are below-threshold contracts aimed at a single specialist provider, such as a local counselling charity or an occupational health firm. Larger authority-wide contracts, like an employee assistance programme, draw bigger national providers.
What CPV codes cover guidance and counselling tenders?
Guidance and counselling notices carry 85312320 (Counselling services), 85312300 (Guidance and counselling services) and 85312310 (Guidance services).
How do I find guidance and counselling contracts before they are formally tendered?
Read student wellbeing strategies, mental health charter plans, employee wellbeing programmes and expiry dates for existing counselling contracts, which show work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.
