Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process described involves Bristol City Council, acting as the buyer, for a "Social Care or Education Placement" project. The procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically targeting health and social work services, and is located in the United Kingdom, region UKK. The process, identified with the ID DNYY1858, was conducted through a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, under the special regime "lightTouch". The procurement stage is complete, having been awarded to FAIRFIELD FARM TRUST. The contract is valued at approximately £366,846 GBP and spans from 7th March 2024 to 31st March 2028. The contract details notice was published on 31st October 2025.

This tender offers growth opportunities primarily for organisations engaged in providing social care or educational services, especially those already operating within the UKK region. Businesses involved in large-scale provision of health and social work services could benefit significantly from partnerships like this, given the substantial contract value and the four-year contract term. Companies that can rapidly adapt to the specific requirements of public authority projects and offer high-quality service delivery would be best suited for similar future opportunities facilitated by sub-central government bodies like Bristol City Council.
