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 was for a placement rather than a general provision of care or education services. The awarded service was to be delivered in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is identified. The council was the buyer, and the procurement was handled as a single lot. The available description does not explain the placement’s intended setting, client group or detailed support requirements, so the stated scope is limited to a social care or education placement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council made a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Nurseline Community Services Ltd was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and runs from 19 August to 10 November 2026. Its value is £93,918 excluding VAT, or £112,701.60 including VAT. The award is recorded as an active award, but no award date or evaluation criteria are provided. The process was treated as a light-touch services procurement. The available outcome information identifies one supplier and one contract for the placement.

This award shows that Bristol City Council buys individual social care or education placements through below-threshold direct awards, as well as through competitive processes. Nurseline Community Services Ltd, an SME based in Bristol, was selected, indicating that a smaller local provider can deliver this type of requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar placements should be able to provide the relevant health, social care or education service, and demonstrate that their provision fits the council’s placement need. The published scope does not identify the recipient group, care model, qualifications, accreditations or staffing expectations, so those should not be assumed from this award. The short, single-placement contract points to a discrete service requirement rather than a large, multi-lot programme.
