UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the contracting process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" opportunity under the procurement method of direct award, ensuring swift engagement without competition, in line with the UK's light-touch regime. The process involved the sub-central government authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom, and was published on 22nd September 2025. Essential Therapeutic Care, a large-scale company, has been awarded the contract to provide health and social work services, with the contract operational from 14th August 2025 to 31st March 2026, valued at £347,079.86.

This procurement represents significant business growth potential, especially for those in the health and social work services sector.

Companies positioned to offer high-quality services in education and social care might find future opportunities in alignment with such public authority needs.
