UK5 - Transparency Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This document outlines the procurement process led by North Somerset Council, a public authority operating within the sub-central government classification. The tender, titled "Spot Placements," focuses on services within the social work and related services category. The procurement is located in Weston-super-Mare, North Somerset, United Kingdom, specifically in the region denoted as UKK12. The procurement method is direct and falls below the competition threshold, under a special light-touch regime. The current stage is the award phase, with recent actions recorded on 26 March 2026. Contracts are scheduled for signature by the end of the same day, and related services extend through 31 March 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work and residential care services, particularly those offering post-18 supported accommodation or parent and child assessment services. The procurement method, being below the threshold and without competition, implies that businesses with the relevant expertise and existing relationships with the council can leverage this opportunity for growth. The comprehensive scope of services required, which includes residential children's homes placements, suggests that established service providers in the care sector would be well-suited to meet these procurement needs, enhancing their portfolio and expanding their service footprint in the UKK12 region.
