Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council initiated a procurement process for a project titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the contract ID DNYY1234. This tender falls under the services category, particularly focusing on health and social work services, and concerns delivery within the United Kingdom, specifically the UKK1 region. The procurement method employed was direct, below threshold, without competition, adhering to a light-touch regime. The contract process has reached the award stage, having been finalised with HEXAGON CARE SERVICES LIMITED. Key dates include a contract period starting on 5th June 2025 and ending on 31st March 2026, with the contract being signed on 2nd June 2025. The contract is valued at £343,907.14 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth in the health and social work sector, particularly for businesses capable of providing specialised care and educational placements. The procurement was awarded directly, suggesting that smaller businesses or those not typically competing in large tenders may find opportunities in niche service contracts like this. Large enterprises with the capability to offer comprehensive social care solutions, such as HEXAGON CARE SERVICES LIMITED, who secured the contract, are prime candidates to consider similar opportunities for future engagements with sub-central government authorities like Bristol City Council.
