UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council, functioning as the buying organisation, has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of Social Care and Education Placement services. This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services. The process was initiated via a direct procurement method, described as "Below threshold - without competition," identifying it as a light-touch regime. The contracting process reached completion with the contract awarded on 13th April 2026, and the service period runs from 14th April 2026 to 31st March 2027. The services are to be delivered in the region of UKK1, United Kingdom, with a contract value of £66,874.97.

The contract presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the health and social care sectors. The awarded supplier, Silver Lining Convergence Ltd, is an SME based in Shoreham-By-Sea, which demonstrates that such contracts are accessible to similar businesses capable of meeting the requirements. These opportunities offer pathways for such organisations to establish reputable track records and potentially lead to further engagements with public sector entities like Bristol City Council. Businesses with strengths in delivering specialised social and health services could notably benefit from similar procurements.
