Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Bristol City Council involves the award of a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement". This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically related to health and social work services. The procurement method employed was direct, justified by its classification as below threshold - without competition, under light-touch regime. The buying organisation, Bristol City Council, located in Bristol, United Kingdom, issued the contract with an active award status on October 16, 2025. The contract is planned for completion by June 22, 2026, having commenced on September 1, 2025, with a contract value of £35,990.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care or educational services, especially those with capabilities in health and social work sectors.
