Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has conducted a procurement process titled "Section 117 Reviews" within the health and social work services industry category. This process involved annual care reviews for service users who have commissioned care packages eligible for S117 aftercare under the Mental Health Act 1983, targeting the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement reached the award stage, with the contract awarded on 31st March 2026 and involving service provision from 1st April to 30th September 2026. Two suppliers, Constellia Public Limited and Liquid Personnel Ltd, were awarded contracts valued at £83,200 each, with details published on 27th April and 24th April 2026, respectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those capable of managing care packages and conducting regular reviews. It is well-suited for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and organisations within the voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. By establishing a foothold in governmental health services through collaborations like these, businesses can substantially enhance their growth prospects and expand their operational scope within the public sector.
