Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for the "Advocacy and Independent Visitor Service 2025," targeting the health and social work services industry. Located in Bristol, this contract is aimed at supporting children in care, care leavers, and those subject to child protection conferences as well as recruiting independent visitors for children in care. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure and had a special "light touch" regime. The contract was awarded on 1st December 2025 and runs until 30th November 2028, with potential extensions up to August 2030. Bristol City Council acted as the buying organisation, overseeing an award stage where RECONSTRUCT (CHILDREN AND ADULT SERVICES) LIMITED emerged as the successful supplier for both lots.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in advocacy for children and young adults or management of visitor services. With a contract value of more than £700,000 across both lots, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that demonstrate strong social value and quality service provisions are well-suited to thrive in this sector. Firms that can offer comprehensive support services for young people in care, ensuring their voices are heard and contributing to their development, are ideal candidates to benefit from the growth potential associated with this contract.
