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 concerns arranging or providing placement-related support within the council’s social care and education responsibilities. The contracting authority is Bristol City Council, based at City Hall, College Green, Bristol. Delivery is associated with the South West England area. The procurement falls within the light-touch regime for social services and related services. This is relevant to organisations that provide social care placements, education placements, or related health and social work support for public-sector service users. The published outcome identifies National Grid Electricity Distribution (East Midlands) PLC as the selected supplier for the single placement requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. National Grid Electricity Distribution (East Midlands) PLC received the active award for the single lot. The contract was signed on 9 June 2026, runs from 10 June 2026 to 31 July 2026, and has a gross value of £6,581.43. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contract is recorded as active. These details describe the completed award outcome and the short contract period associated with this social care and education placement requirement.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Bristol City Council, this award indicates a small-scale, short-duration requirement for health and social work services connected with social care and education placements. Relevant organisations would need to provide services that can support placement needs across the council’s social care and education functions, with the operational capability to deliver in the South West England area. The procurement route is particularly important: this requirement was handled as a below-threshold direct award without competition, so credibility with the council and suitability for a light-touch social services requirement may matter alongside service capability. The selected provider should be able to respond to placement-related needs promptly and within a defined, limited contract period.
