UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured social care and education placement services for its public service responsibilities. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and is associated with a single completed placement lot. The contracting authority is Bristol City Council, with the awarded supplier also based in Bristol. The work concerns arranging or providing placements that combine social care and education support, rather than the supply of physical goods or construction. It is therefore relevant to organisations delivering care, education, supported placement or related welfare services for public-sector clients. The procurement falls within the light-touch regime for social and related services, indicating a service requirement where operational delivery and the needs of people receiving support are central to performance.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to BRISTOL WASTE COMPANY LIMITED. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, rather than an open tender. The award was made on 15 June 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 16 June 2026 to 19 June 2026. Its gross value is £5,800. The award covers the single completed lot and is recorded under health and social work services. The outcome shows that the council selected one supplier for the placement requirement. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded for this direct award, so the route to market was supplier selection without a bidding exercise.

This procurement indicates demand from Bristol City Council for short-duration social care and education placements, delivered through a direct, below-threshold route. A future supplier seeking to compete for comparable work would need credible capability in coordinating or delivering placements that meet both care and education needs, with arrangements suitable for people requiring supported services. Relevant strengths would include safeguarding, case management, education liaison, qualified care or support staff, and the ability to mobilise quickly for tightly defined periods. Experience working with local authorities and understanding the requirements of the light-touch social services regime would help establish credibility. The selected supplier was a large Bristol-based company, suggesting that local presence, organisational capacity and the ability to manage public-sector requirements may be useful when this buyer next reviews similar needs.
