Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has successfully completed the award stage of a public procurement process for the 'Social Care & Education Placement' contract. The contract is categorised under 'Health and Social Work Services' within the services industry segment, and it operates under the 'lightTouch' special regime. Spanning from 22nd December 2025 to 31st March 2030, this direct procurement method was carried out below the threshold, meaning it was executed without competition. The contract was signed on 21st December 2025 for a gross value of £220,770. The delivery will take place within the region of UKK1 in the United Kingdom. The process follows the legal framework established by the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for large organisations specialising in social care and education services to establish a long-term partnership with a prominent local government authority, such as the Bristol City Council. Companies positioned within this sector, particularly those capable of delivering health and social work services, stand to benefit from the contract's extended duration and financial value. Although the procurement was conducted directly without competition, future opportunities might arise for similar tenders, allowing businesses to leverage their expertise to compete for government contracts in this vital sector.
