Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Social Care or Education Placement" contract was facilitated by Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority based in Bristol, United Kingdom. The tender process was conducted through direct procurement, classified under the special "light touch" regime and involved a below-threshold approach without competition. The procurement stage listed in the document is 'award', indicating that the contract status is complete. The services required fall within the health and social work services industry. The contract, valued at £233,216, spans from 25th September 2025 to 31st March 2030, and was signed on 22nd September 2025. Harbour Healthcare Limited was awarded the contract, serving the UKK1 region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on providing health and social work services, especially those capable of forming direct partnerships with regional governments for service delivery. Although the procurement was undertaken without competition, indicating a specific selection criterion, similar businesses can anticipate future tenders through the Bristol City Council and other sub-central government authorities. Companies with capabilities in large-scale service provision, particularly those interested in the public sector collaborations, should consider monitoring such opportunities to enhance their market presence and secure substantial contracts that foster long-term growth.
