Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Social Care or Education Placement." This process falls under the services industry category, specifically health and social work services (CPV: 85000000), with the main procurement location being Bristol, United Kingdom (region UKK11). The contract has been awarded to BAMFIELD LODGE LIMITED through a direct procurement method, classified as below threshold and without competition, under the light touch regime. This process was legally based on the UKPGA 2023/54. The award and contract stages are completed, with the contract active from 28th April 2025 to 31st March 2030. The gross contract value is £339,240.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the health and social care sectors that provide services related to social care or education placements. Given the procurement method and size, large-scale service providers with the ability to deliver specialized care services in Bristol would have been well-suited to compete. Businesses experienced in dealing with sub-central governmental bodies, like Bristol City Council, could find growth opportunities in similar future tenders due to the strategic importance of service delivery in the public sector. Although this particular process used a direct award method, understanding procurement trends in health and social care can position businesses favourably for upcoming opportunities.
