Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the category of health and social work services. The procurement was conducted without competition as it was below the threshold, and followed a direct method, classified as a light-touch regime. The contract, awarded to Silver Birch Care Residential Services Limited, covers services in the region UKK1, United Kingdom, from 6 August 2025 to 31 March 2026. The procurement process was initiated under the legal basis of the UK Parliament Act 2023/54, with the contract being valued at £514,250 GBP.
