Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Social Care or Education Placement" project, managed by Bristol City Council, is now at the award stage. This procurement, under the category of services particularly in health and social work, covers the region of UKK1 in the United Kingdom, with completion already confirmed. The process utilised a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold without competition, with Cambian Childcare Limited appointed as the supplier. The contract commenced on 4th August 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st March 2026, with a total value of £453,024.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in or capable of delivering health and social work services. While the initial contract has been awarded, similar future opportunities may be anticipated that suit large-scale service providers, particularly those capable of handling public sector contracts. The absence of a competitive tender process highlights the Council's direct approach, making this sector attractive for companies demonstrating strong expertise and reliability in social care and educational placements.
