UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has successfully completed a procurement process under the title "Social Care or Education Placement" (DNYY1023). This process falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and adheres to the legislation outlined in UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement involved a direct method below the threshold without competition, focusing on the light-touch regime. Located in Bristol, United Kingdom, the contract was signed on 8th April 2025, with services expected to be active from 10th April 2025 to 31st March 2030. The award stage is complete, with Welford Healthcare STH Limited contracted to deliver the services, covering the UKK1 region.

This tender provides significant growth opportunities for large-scale service providers, especially those in the health and social care sectors. Businesses equipped to deliver specialised care or educational placements would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. Although this specific contract was awarded through a direct method, companies looking to engage in sub-central government projects should monitor similar procurement activities for potential collaborations. Such contracts can substantially enhance a company's portfolio in public health and social care services, adding to their credibility and market presence.
