UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement under its light-touch public services regime. The requirement covers health and social work services, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The placement is associated with Bristol City Council and was arranged as a single service requirement. The procurement sits within the council’s social care and education provision, so relevant organisations are those able to support individuals through appropriate care and educational placement services. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in Bristol. The selected provider, Mollitiam Housing Limited, is also based in Bristol and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The requirement is service-based rather than a goods supply or construction project.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, for one completed lot. Mollitiam Housing Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026 and runs from 9 June 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £26,466.63. The contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published classification is health and social work services. The contract is below threshold and falls within the light-touch regime for social and education-related public services. No separate award value or award date is recorded.

This award shows Bristol City Council’s demand for locally delivered social care and education placement services at small-contract scale. A credible future competitor would need the operational ability to provide suitable placements, manage care and education-related support, and meet the standards expected for light-touch public services. Relevant experience in health, social care or education placements would help demonstrate that capability, alongside reliable safeguarding, staffing, accommodation or placement-management arrangements where required by the specific service. The selected supplier is an SME based in Bristol, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist provider rather than only by a large national organisation. Suppliers with established local delivery capacity and public-sector readiness are therefore well placed.
