Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has concluded the procurement process titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the direct procurement method, which was processed without competitive bidding due to being below the threshold. The procurement falls under the industry category of services, specifically health and social work services, and is located in the United Kingdom, primarily in the region identified as UKK1. Initiated under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54, the contract was awarded to HEXAGON CARE SERVICES LIMITED on 2nd May 2025, with the contract starting on 6th May 2025 and ending on 31st October 2025. The total contract value for this period is £354,251.23, and the procurement stage is complete.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses offering specialised social care or educational placements to engage with public sector contracts and expand their presence in the market. Large enterprises with robust capabilities in delivering health and social work services are particularly well-suited to compete in similar tenders, as demonstrated by HEXAGON CARE SERVICES LIMITED's successful bid. The direct procurement method used in this process suggests opportunities for businesses to position themselves as preferred partners for public authorities managing specialist service contracts without competition when the transaction falls below a specified financial threshold.
