UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process was initiated by Bristol City Council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, located in Bristol, UK. The contract, titled "Social Care or Education Placement", falls under the services industry category with a particular focus on health and social work services. The procurement method was direct and conducted below the threshold without competition, adhering to a light-touch regime. The contract has been awarded and is active as of 16th September 2025, with a completion date set for 31st March 2026. The contract is valued at £55,678 GBP, and all activities are to be conducted within the UK regions specified.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of social care and educational services. Given that the procurement was conducted directly and below the threshold, it may particularly benefit larger organisations like True Fostering Ltd, which was the successful supplier. Businesses with similar scales and specialisations in health and social work services may find such opportunities conducive to growth, especially if they can provide compliant and quality services that align with government requirements in the UK. Engaging with contracts from local councils like Bristol City Council may lead to further opportunities for collaboration and service expansion.
