Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under discussion is the "Social Care & Education Placement" initiative led by Bristol City Council, a public authority in the sub-central government category. The tender was classified under the services industry, particularly health and social work services, destined for delivery in the region of UKK1, United Kingdom. This contract, awarded on 28th January 2026, follows a direct procurement method dictated by UK legislation (2023/54), employing a below-threshold process without competition, indicative of its light-touch regime. The contract period began on 1st October 2025 and will conclude on 31st July 2026, with the contract valued at £30,528.

This contract represents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for large organisations with expertise in healthcare and social work services, like Hackney Council, the successful supplier for this tender. Companies operating within these sectors can leverage such opportunities to showcase their capabilities in delivering critical services under the public sector framework. The procurement strategy, devoid of competitive pressure due to its below-threshold nature, favours businesses ready to engage directly with large sub-central government bodies and fulfil specified service requirements.
