Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care and Education Placement". This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically health and social work services. The process employed the "light touch" regime and was conducted using a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The contract, identified as DNYY2624, was signed on 31st March 2026, and spans from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with a total gross value of £415,896.64.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses in the social care and education sectors, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality health and social work services. As the procurement was awarded directly, businesses that specialise in bespoke care solutions and have a history of engaging with public authorities in the UK stand to benefit. Considering the contract's location in the UKK region, companies with established operations in the south-west of England could particularly thrive. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), akin to 16 PLUS CARE SUPPORT SOLUTIONS LTD—the successful supplier in this process—are well positioned to compete in this space, leveraging their agility to meet specific service needs within the defined timeline and budget.
