UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a social care or education placement, classified as a health and social work service. The requirement is described only at this broad level; the published scope does not explain the placement type, the person or group it serves, or the specific care or education activities involved. The work is associated with Bristol City Council, and the supplier is based in Bristol. The delivery location is identified only as the United Kingdom, so a more precise service location cannot be established. This is a single placement requirement rather than a described package of multiple services. The procurement is a light-touch public service, under Bristol City Council’s social care or education purchasing activity.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council made a direct award without competition to Nurseline Community Services Ltd. The contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and runs from 10 August to 31 October 2026. Its value is £92,799.93 excluding VAT, or £111,359.92 including VAT. There was one lot, awarded to Nurseline Community Services Ltd. The award is active, and no separate award date or evaluation criteria are recorded. The route was a below-threshold award without competition, rather than a competitive tender. The procurement falls under the light-touch regime for public services.

This award shows Bristol City Council buying an individual social care or education placement through a direct, below-threshold route, rather than competing a broader service package. Nurseline Community Services Ltd, a Bristol-based small and medium-sized supplier, was selected for the requirement. A credible supplier for a future placement would need to deliver the relevant care or education service at individual-placement scale and be able to meet the council’s placement need. The published description does not identify a particular care specialism, education setting, accreditation, staffing model or qualification, so it does not establish a narrower technical profile. The awarded supplier’s selection demonstrates that a small provider can win this type of council requirement, while the non-competitive method means the award does not reveal a tested competitive scoring basis.
