Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement," under the industry category of health and social work services. This procurement was carried out in the region of the United Kingdom classed as UKK1, with a direct procurement method below the threshold, meaning it was executed without competition. The buying organisation, Bristol City Council, is a public authority within the sub-central government domain, and the contract was awarded to the supplier TulipCare One Ltd in Essex. The contract was signed on 31 March 2025, and the service period began on 1 April 2025, concluding on 20 May 2025. The award stage of the process is now active, following its completion date on 12 September 2025.

This tender creates a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services. Although the procurement was completed without competition, similar future opportunities might arise in government-supported sectors, potentially fostering business growth for companies with experience in social care or education services. Large-scale enterprises similar to TulipCare One Ltd, which can offer comprehensive solutions and services in the specialised domain of social care, would be particularly well-suited to compete for analogous contracts in upcoming tenders. Engaging with public authorities like Bristol City Council can provide ongoing business development prospects and enhance visibility in the social services sector.
