UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement," which falls under the services category. The process was conducted through a direct method, under a light-touch regime and was below the threshold, resulting in a contract awarded without competition. The procurement was formally finalised on 16th September 2025, with the contract period commencing on 7th March 2023 and extending until 7th March 2027. The contract, valued at £459,485.71, is primarily aimed at the delivery of health and social work services within the region of South West England (UKK1). The supplier, Queensbridge Care Ltd, will be responsible for the service provisions as detailed in the contract notice.

This procurement offers significant growth potential for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those capable of delivering large-scale services. Although this contract was awarded without competition, similar opportunities may arise for businesses specialising in social care, education placements, and related health services. Companies with experience in servicing public authorities, especially in sub-central government sectors, could find potential collaborations or subcontracting opportunities beneficial as the demand for dedicated social care services remains high. Engaging in such projects can enhance a business's portfolio and provide exposure within governmental procurement frameworks.
