UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Social Care & Education Placement," categorised under health and social work services. The procurement falls under the jurisdiction of sub-central government authorities and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This particular contracting process, identified by tender ID DNYY2158, utilised a direct procurement method ensured by light-touch regulations, targeting below-threshold services and proceeding without competition. The contract was awarded on 30th December 2025 and became active from 31st December 2025, slated to run until 31st March 2030, with a gross contract value of £219,497.14. The award process was marked by specific legal frameworks, under the legislation 2023/54.

This contract represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in or seeking expansion into social care and education services. Large suppliers, such as Meadowcare Homes Ltd, were engaged in this procurement, highlighting the scale and capacity required to successfully compete. As this process was conducted through a direct and non-competitive method, companies with an established reputation in delivering comprehensive care and educational placements within the specified region might find similar opportunities by focusing on quality service offerings and enhancing their network with public authorities like Bristol City Council. Although this specific process has concluded, understanding the procurement landscape and maintaining strategic alliances can position similar businesses for future tendering opportunities in this domain.
