Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has awarded a contract under the title "Social Care or Education Placement" (DNYY1825), focusing on the health and social work services industry category. The procurement process is classified under the light touch regime and was carried out using a direct method below threshold, which did not involve competition. The location of delivery is within the South West England region (UKK1). The contracting process has reached the award stage with the contract being signed on 8th October 2025. The contract period is from 9th October 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total contract value of £28,573 GBP.

This tender presents business growth opportunities particularly for service providers in the health and social work sector, especially small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as WILLOW TREE SUPPORT SERVICES LTD, the current supplier. Companies specialising in delivering social care or educational placement services within the sub-central government framework can leverage such contracts to enhance their market presence. Organisations equipped with resources to operate in South West England stand to benefit significantly from engaging in similar award processes, as regional delivery capabilities can often be advantageous under light touch regime requirements.
