Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Health and Social Work Services, specifically titled "Social Care or Education Placement". This procurement, designated under ID DNYY1359, falls into the services category and was conducted using a direct procurement method that is below threshold and thus without competition, under the special regime of a light-touch approach. The contract was awarded to Lavender Court, a large-scale supplier located in Taunton, and commenced on 17th April 2025, running until 31st March 2030. The contract, valued at £70,652.06, was signed on 13th April 2025. The main site for service delivery is within the UKK1 region.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in delivering health and social work services, aligning with public sector needs and demonstrating capacity for longstanding partnerships. Although the procurement process did not involve competition due to its nature, businesses that specialise in similar light-touch service contracts can look to engage in future opportunities with sub-central government bodies like Bristol City Council. Such contracts can bolster business growth by establishing a steady workflow and enhancing reputation within the public sector service delivery framework.
