UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a "Social Care and Education Placement" contract under the industry category of health and social work services. The process, initiated as a direct procurement method below the threshold and without competition, concluded with the award of the contract to Ruskin Mill Trust Limited. The contract, valued at £378,729, covers services within the region of South West England (UKK1) and is set to run from 1st September 2026 until 31st August 2029. The official contract was signed on 9th July 2026, marking the completion of the award stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing social care and educational services, especially those capable of delivering innovative health and social work services within a localised setting. Companies similar to Ruskin Mill Trust Limited, which are well-versed in sub-central government contracts and can manage large-scale service deliveries, have a good potential to compete effectively in this space. Organisations looking to expand their reach into public sector contracts within the United Kingdom might find similar future opportunities through such government-led procurement initiatives.
