Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Bristol City Council pertains to the "Social Care & Education Placement" contract, which falls under the services category specifically related to Health and Social Work Services. Located in the UK region of UKK11, this process has progressed to the award stage and was completed with an active contract signed on 31st December 2025. The procurement process employed was direct and below the threshold, without competition, under a light-touch regime. Notably, the contract has a multi-year term starting on 1st January 2026 and concluding on 31st March 2030, with an estimated value of £219,355.71 GBP.
