Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Social Care & Education Placement" contract was conducted by Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bristol, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the health and social work services category, with a focus on services. The process was completed using a 'direct' procurement method, classified as 'below threshold - without competition', aligning with legal basis UKPGA 2023/54. The contract was awarded on 1st January 2026, and it runs from 2nd January 2026 to 31st March 2026. The work under this contract is intended to be delivered in the UKK1 region.

This tender provides opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services to engage with public sector projects. While the contract was procured directly without competition, it exemplifies the demand for specialised services within sub-central government sectors. The contract was awarded to RISING STAR CARE SOLUTIONS LIMITED, a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in London, suggesting that SMEs with a focus on social care and the capacity to deliver in specified regions are well-positioned for similar opportunities. The industry's competitive landscape suggests providers with expertise in delivering tailored social care solutions would benefit from monitoring such opportunities to ensure readiness for future tenders.
