UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Bristol City Council for the "Social Care and Education Placement" contract has reached completion. This direct procurement, classified under health and social work services, did not involve a competitive stage owing to its below-threshold status. The procurement falls within a 'light touch' regime, applicable to specialised services, and the contract has been awarded to Priory Group Limited, a large-scale supplier based in London. The contract period commenced on 27th March 2026 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2027, with a total contract value of £811,790.57. The services are to be delivered in the UKK1 region, aligning with Bristol's location preferences.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health and social care sectors, particularly those offering placement and educational services. While Priory Group Limited secured the contract under a direct award, organisations of similar capability and scale, especially those adept in delivering regional healthcare solutions, may find growth potential in future tenders of this nature. Large businesses with expertise in managing and providing comprehensive services in sub-central government contracts could be well-positioned to compete in this market space, especially as the demand for tailored social care services continues to grow.
