Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom, has concluded an award for the tender titled "Social Care or Education Placement." This procurement process falls under the health and social work services sector and is categorised as services. The contract, awarded directly and below threshold without competition, culminated in Cleve House Ltd - Cleve House School being awarded. The active contract commenced on 4th April 2025, and it is set to run until 31st August 2027. Despite being a direct award, the "lightTouch" procurement regime was leveraged, reflecting a streamlined approach suited to the nature of the services required.

This tender presents a strategic opportunity for large businesses involved in health, social care, or educational services to innovate and expand in this sector. Given the focus on direct service delivery in a specialised domain, experienced foreign organisations with a comprehensive understanding of the UK's regional needs, particularly in South West England, may find beneficial partnerships and growth achievable. The award exemplifies how businesses can engage with public authorities to provide essential community services while enhancing operational scale and efficiency in publicly funded projects.
