Health Education England West Midlands is seeking a provider, to delivery a psychology and counselling service to trainee doctors and dentists within the West Midlands, where this type of support is deemed appropriate following initial referral to the Professional Support and Wellbeing team.

Clinical Psychologist and Counselling Psychologist who are registered by the Health Professionals Council – accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Cognitive Behaviour Therapists accredited by British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). This service will also be expected to provide the administrative support to manage the referrals.
The contract period will be 12 months with the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months, subject to annual review and available budget.
This Contract shall be payable based on the volume of activity to be undertaken.
As such, there shall be no Total Contract Value, but a cost per session to be charged to the Authority, this shall be an all-inclusive cost which will cover the total number of sessions delivered.
