Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council, located at City Hall, College Green in Bristol, United Kingdom, has completed a public procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" service. Categorised under health and social work services, this contract utilised a direct procurement method, falling below the threshold level without competition, and adhered to a light touch regime. The contract was awarded to HARBOUR HEALTHCARE (NORTH) LTD, with the entire procurement reaching the award stage and the contract running from 28th May 2025 to 31st March 2030, valued at £250,187. The procurement process was concluded with the contract being active as of 11th November 2025.

This procurement opportunity underscores potential growth for businesses involved in health and social work, particularly those capable of executing service-oriented contracts. While this specific tender was directly awarded and did not involve open competition, similar future opportunities may arise that require competitive bidding, thereby offering substantial potential for businesses specialising in providing comprehensive healthcare or educational services to governmental bodies. Organisations with robust capacities in these domains may find that aligning with public authorities such as Bristol City Council could significantly expand their operational scope and portfolio.
