Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service, classified as health and social work services. The requirement is for placement provision, but no further detail on the type of placement or intended service users is included in the procurement description. The work is associated with Bristol City Council and is recorded for delivery in the South West of England. The buyer is Bristol City Council, the local authority responsible for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to The Collegiate Trust Trading Limited, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The award is active. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its stated value is £67,431 including VAT. The procurement was handled as a single lot. No award criteria or evaluation basis are recorded, consistent with the direct, non-competitive route.

This award shows Bristol City Council buying social care and education placement services through a direct, below-threshold route, with a single provider for the requirement. The selected supplier is a large organisation, indicating that the buyer has contracted with a provider able to deliver at an established organisational scale. For comparable future work, suppliers would need credible experience in placement provision that combines social care and education, and the operational capacity to meet the council’s requirements. The procurement description does not identify specific accreditations, staffing standards or service-user groups, so the clearest evidence of fit is a demonstrable ability to deliver this combined placement service for a local authority.
