Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has concluded the procurement process for the provision of bespoke children's placement services during the transition period to the Integrated Care Board (ICB). The contract, valued at £900,000, focuses on paediatric services and requires 24/7 care for a child with complex needs in the UKK11 region. Awarded to DAYTIME HEALTHCARE RECRUITMENT LIMITED following a limited procurement method, the tender did not require prior publication and proceeded under PSR Process A. Initially planned from 1st November 2025 to 31st January 2026, the contract includes six one-month extension options, potentially extending service provision until 31st July 2026.

This tender opportunity provides significant growth prospects for businesses specialising in paediatric and healthcare services, particularly those capable of delivering specialised, round-the-clock care for children with complex requirements. While the procurement method was limited, businesses prepared for similar future contracts could benefit from positioning themselves as realistic alternative providers, particularly within the local UKK11 region. Large-scale healthcare providers with the capability to meet bespoke service requirements are well-suited to compete in this domain, positioning themselves favourably for potential extensions and future tenders.
