This process falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on health and social work services and is located in the United Kingdom (region UKK1). The procurement method used was direct, below threshold without competition, and was categorized under a "light touch" regime.

Businesses that are well-equipped to handle similar requirements and have a strong local presence in regions like Bristol could leverage such opportunities to enhance their growth within public sector contracts. Given the direct procurement method, agile firms with specialized offerings in social care and education would be particularly competitive in such environments.
