Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority, involved the contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the services category. Located in Bristol, UK, the procurement was completed using a direct method under a "Below threshold - without competition" regime, specifically for the light-touch regime. The relevant dates include the contract start date of 11th September 2025, with completion scheduled for 31st March 2030. The award was finalised on 24th October 2025, with an active contract value of £235,196 GBP.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large-scale enterprises capable of delivering health and social work services within the United Kingdom, as exemplified by The Granville Care Home Ltd, the awarded supplier. Businesses in the care sector with expertise in social care placements are well-positioned to benefit from similar opportunities in the light-touch regime tenders, which often entail less rigorous competitive processes. This specific procurement demonstrates the potential for direct engagement with public sector bodies, facilitating streamlined contracts for capable suppliers.
