UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bristol, UK, has completed a procurement process for a Social Care or Education Placement. The process, initiated as a direct, below-threshold tender without competition, falls under the light-touch regime and is categorised in the health and social work services sector. The contract was awarded to Outcomes First Group, a large-scale supplier, on 7th September 2025, with an active contract period from 8th September 2025 to 31st August 2026. The procurement focuses on services within the UKK1 region, with a total contract value of £179,094.

This closed procurement provides insight into opportunities that similar public contracts might hold for businesses specialising in health and social care services. Companies that are adept at providing large-scale solutions in social care or education could benefit from such tender opportunities, particularly if they align with the direct procurement method used here. The involvement of a well-established supplier like Outcomes First Group suggests that businesses with experience in the sector and an ability to deliver comprehensive service packages to government authorities would be well-suited to competing in future tenders of this nature.
