II.2.4) Description of the procurement
In 2019, the Scottish Government launched its Counselling in Schools programme. The Counselling in Schools service should be available to all school pupils over the age of 10 years.
In line with the principles of GIRFEC, access to counselling is part of a staged approach which is based on assessment of need. Schools consider counselling as one of a range of supports that are available to support the wellbeing of children and young people.
In Tayside (Dundee City Council, Perth & Kinross Council and Angus Council) it was agreed to approach counselling in schools to ensure alignment with the Tayside Emotional Wellbeing Strategy for Children and Young People 2020-23 and avoid duplication of effort around the considerable contracting and procurement processes by having one Tayside framework. Counselling in Schools in Tayside operates under the following principles:
- Counselling is viewed within a continuum of a resilience-based approach
- Staff who know children best are fully supported in their work
- Individual counselling leads where appropriate into child/young person planning and the identification of wider supports.
This collaboration will continue across the 3 local authorities with the continued commitment to providing access to a certified school counsellor for Tayside children over 10 years. In line with the newly presented Tayside Plan for 2023 – 26, there will continue to be a commitment to ensure “our children and young people will have the best start in life and Tayside will be the best place in Scotland to grow up”.
Dundee City Council intends to re-tender for the Flexible Framework Agreement for Education and Social Support Services (Children and Families). The current Framework Agreement ends on 31/03/24 and we cannot extend further. Therefore this will be a brand new tender and I would like to emphasize that Current Providers who are already on the Framework will need to submit a bid for the tender along with any new Providers who may wish to apply.
We would like to highlight that a new Lot has been added for this new Framework for Counselling in Schools services. If any Providers are interested in submitting a bid for this Lot it is recommended that you attend the following webinar -
