The 2018-19 Programme for Government stated that around 350 new counsellor positions would be created in Scotland. Each local authority has been allocated funding to implement this. Aberdeenshire Council (the Council) has been unable to recruit enough qualified, accredited counsellors with appropriate experience of working with children and young people to meet this expectation. The Council will therefore recruit a combination of qualified School Counsellors and Trainee School Counsellors, the latter of which will be sponsored to undertake a diploma in counselling.
The successful tenderer will be responsible for training and supervising trainee school counsellors (10) as well as supervising already qualified counsellors (2).

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 40
- Price: 60
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
