UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service, classified under health and social work services. The requirement supports the placement of individuals within social care and education settings. Delivery is associated with the Bristol and surrounding area in the South West of England. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the selected provider is VERRI MEDIA LIMITED, a Brighton-based small enterprise. The procurement is treated as a light-touch service requirement, indicating a placement-focused service rather than the supply of goods, construction or general professional consultancy.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. VERRI MEDIA LIMITED received the active award. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 30 June 2028. Its gross value is £2,455.48. The arrangement concerns one completed requirement and is below the applicable threshold. The award relates to health and social work services and the contract is active. The published outcome records Bristol City Council as the buyer and VERRI MEDIA LIMITED as the appointed supplier.

This outcome identifies a small-scale requirement from Bristol City Council for social care and education placement services. Suppliers considering comparable work should be able to arrange or deliver appropriate placements, understand social care and education settings, and meet the council’s requirements for supporting individuals safely and suitably. Relevant organisations may include specialist placement providers and smaller enterprises with experience in health, social care or education-linked services. The direct-award route shows that below-threshold requirements may be handled without competition, so businesses seeking similar work should monitor the council’s purchasing activity and be ready to demonstrate a clear fit with the specific placement need.
