UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of social care and education placements as part of their services procurement category. The contract, identified under reference DNYY2631, was awarded to BY THE BRIDGE LIMITED. This procurement was carried out using a direct method below the threshold, meaning it did not require competition among suppliers. Detailed under the special regime 'lightTouch,' the process was conducted according to the 2023/54 legal framework. Covering the region of Bristol, United Kingdom, the contract began on 1st April 2026 and is scheduled to conclude on 31st March 2027, with a total contract value of £69,058.

This contract provides significant business opportunities for companies specialising in health and social work services. Firms seeking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts, particularly within the UK sub-central government sector, may find opportunities to supply similar services in the future. Large-scale firms that can meet the requirements of light-touch regulatory frameworks and offer health and social care solutions are especially well-suited to engage in such procurements. Engaging in contracts of this nature could enable businesses to strengthen their reputation and foster relationships with public authorities like Bristol City Council.
