Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Social Care or Education Placement", was conducted by Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom. The industry category for this process is services, specifically health and social work services. The procurement took place under a direct approach, below the threshold without competition due to special light-touch regime regulations. The contract was awarded on 24th March 2025 and will remain active until 25th March 2029. The successful supplier, Woolton Grange Limited, is a large organisation based in Middlesex. Although the tender stage is complete, the awarded contract became active and has a gross value of £173,948.57.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for service providers within the health and social work sector, particularly those specialising in social care and education placements. Given that the procurement method was direct, businesses capable of offering niche, high-quality services that comply with specialised regulations will be best positioned to benefit from such contracts. Large-scale suppliers with robust capabilities for delivering comprehensive social care services will find similar opportunities highly advantageous for expanding their market presence within sub-central government frameworks.
