Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was conducted by Bristol City Council for a project titled "Social Care or Education Placement," classified under the health and social work services industry. The procurement falls under the services category and was executed via a direct, below-threshold method without competition, characteristic of a light-touch regime. The contracting authority, Bristol City Council, is a public authority operating at the sub-central government level. The contract was awarded on 23rd September 2025 to Avery Homes Downend Ltd, with the service provision having started on 17th August 2022 and set to conclude on 17th August 2026. The services are to be delivered in the UKK1 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care or educational services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised health and social work services. As the procurement was conducted without competition due to the below-threshold approach, large companies like Avery Homes Downend Ltd, which meets the selection criteria for this category, were directly awarded the contract.
