Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for a "Social Care & Education Placement" under tender reference DNYY2000. The procurement falls within the services category, specifically health and social work services, and was carried out via a direct, below-threshold method without competition, characterised by a "lightTouch" regime. The contract has been awarded to Hartcliffe Nursing Home and is set to run from 29th October 2025 to 31st March 2030. The contract, valued at £228,407.14, covers services within the UKK1 region in the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a notable opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those capable of delivering bespoke education and care placements. Establishments such as large nursing homes, as evidenced by the successful bid from Hartcliffe Nursing Home, are particularly well-suited to fulfil such contracts. This procurement process, although direct and without competition, highlights the importance of positioning and readiness when sub-central government bodies like Bristol City Council award service contracts.
