    "description": "For the last two years Teesside University has enhanced our student wellbeing offer through the provision of an external counselling service provided on a call out contract basis. The call out service enables us to ensure short waiting times for support as well as manage times of peak demand across the year. Over the last two years the call-out contract has become an integral element of the University\u0027s wellbeing provision and we are looking to continue this provision.\r\n      \r\n      Teesside University offers a range of ways for students to study at higher education. As well as our main Middlesbrough campus we also have campuses in London and Darlington as well as an online only student cohort. It is important that all students are able to access an equitable service and we are seeking a provider who can provide counselling both in person in Teesside as well as on-line/virtual counselling.\r\n      \r\n      We are seeking to contract an experienced provider of counselling services who can provide suitably qualified counsellors to meet the needs of Teesside University Students.\r\n\r\nAdditional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.",
