Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has concluded a procurement process for the provision of social care or education placement services, as indicated in the tender with title "Social Care or Education Placement" (reference DNYY1197). This tender falls under the services category, specifically within the health and social work services industry (CPV code: 85000000). The procurement, executed under the special 'light touch' regime, was conducted via a direct method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The contract was signed on 19th May 2025, with an active period starting from 20th May 2025 and concluding on 31st March 2026. Bristol City Council, located at City Hall, College Green, Bristol, awarded the contract to PATHWAYS CARE GROUP LIMITED. The total contract value is £85,976.38 GBP.

This procurement provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those capable of handling social care and educational placements. While the contract was awarded without competition, firms with a strong foothold in providing specialised care services within the UK are likely to benefit from similar future opportunities by staying informed of upcoming tenders from Bristol City Council and similar public authorities. Large enterprises that are well-versed in the compliance requirements of direct award contracts and possess sufficient capacity to deliver on such needs would find this type of engagement advantageous for growth and diversification of their service portfolios.
