Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the legal framework of the UK Public Government Act 2023/54. This process falls into the services industry category, specifically focusing on health and social work services. Conducted as a direct award without competition due to its below-threshold value, the contract was successfully awarded to Osborne Court, a large supplier. The contract covers a regional area within the UK, specifically the UKK region, with a term spanning from 1st March 2025 to 31st March 2029. The contract, valued at £211,011.43, was formally signed on 26th February 2025.

This tender opportunity represents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in the social care and education sectors, particularly those capable of providing health and social work services. While the procurement method was direct and did not involve a competitive bidding process, it highlights Bristol City Council's procurement approach toward necessary services. Large-scale suppliers similar to Osborne Court, which possess the capacity to deliver specialised and dedicated services, would find similar contract opportunities advantageous for strategic expansion and market presence within regional UK procurement activities.
