Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has recently completed the 'Social Care and Education Placement' contract within the services category, procuring health and social work services. This direct procurement, classified under a light touch regime, did not require competition and is below threshold. The contract, which began on 8th April 2026, will continue until 31st March 2031 and has been valued at £812,545.48. The primary location for service delivery is within the UKK1 region of the United Kingdom, with Tonna Care Services Limited, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Reading, awarded the contract on 7th April 2026.
