APUC names global mental health solution Uwill to new framework for student support services
APUC (Advanced Procurement for Universities & Colleges) is Scotland’s shared purchasing body, negotiating agreements on behalf of Scotland’s universities and colleges.
The appointment comes in response to the growing need for immediate and inclusive support solutions that provide immediate support, enhance utilisation, and enable institutions to meet rising demand. While more than half of UK students (57%) report mental health challenges, recent research shows that more than 50% of students that experience poor mental health do not access traditional support services and solutions. As recognised by APUC in this appointment, this highlights the importance of offering personalised, accessible and modern mental health solutions like Uwill, informed by global best practices and research, that are designed to expand access and engagement, meeting students where they are and making it easier for them to engage with the right support when they need it.
Further information about this Framework is available on the APUC Buyers Portal, and for more information on Uwill, visit www.uwill.com/uk.
