Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Social Care or Education Placement" contract was facilitated by Bristol City Council, a public authority operating under sub-central government jurisdiction. This tender was categorised under health and social work services and was located in the region of UKK1, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was direct, and it fell below the threshold without competition, adhering to the special regime of light-touch regulations. Key dates include the contract start on 7th July 2025, and its completion on 31st August 2025, with the contract being signed on 6th July 2025. The procurement stage is concluded as the contract has been awarded and is currently active.

This tender presents promising opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised placement services. While the opportunity was executed through a direct award, it highlights Bristol City Council's need for reliable service providers in this domain. Large-scale companies, such as ORBIS EDUCATION AND CARE LIMITED, which has secured this contract, may find similar future opportunities attractive due to the regional focus and the essential nature of these services. Organisations with the capacity to meet social care placement needs efficiently and effectively would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts.
