Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process under review involves Bristol City Council as the buying organisation for a procurement titled "Social Care or Education Placement". This contract falls under the services category, specifically focusing on health and social work services. Conducted within the Bristol region (UKK11), this procurement reached the award stage, with a direct method employed below the threshold without competition, which was in special light touch regime. The contract was signed on 3rd March 2025 and initiated on 6th March 2025, concluding on 31st August 2026, amounting to £74,746.66. The procurement aligns with legal protocols outlined in UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care or education services, particularly those capable of providing specialised health and social work services.

Businesses equipped with expertise in delivering quality educational placements or social care services stand to gain from forming relationships with public authorities like Bristol City Council to tap into the growing market for specialised service contracts.
