UK7 - Contract Details Notice
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 concerns arranging placements that combine social care and education; the published description gives no further detail about the placement model or the people to be supported. The contract is associated with delivery in the South West of England. Bristol City Council is the buying organisation. This is a single-lot service requirement, rather than a purchase of goods or building work. Its focus is specifically on social care and education placements, so it is most relevant to providers able to arrange and deliver support across both areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to The Collegiate Trust Trading Limited. The award is active, and the contract is also active; it was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The contract value is £50,588.99 including VAT. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The procurement had one lot, and the award relates to that lot. No award criteria or eligibility conditions are recorded in the published procurement details, so the basis on which the selected provider was assessed is not set out there.

This award shows Bristol City Council purchasing a small-scale social care and education placement service through a direct, below-threshold route. For providers seeking to compete for a similar requirement from this buyer, credibility would rest on the ability to arrange placements that meet education and social care needs together, and to deliver the service in the South West of England. Relevant operational capacity would include coordinating suitable placements and supporting continuity across the two service areas. The selected provider is a large organisation, but the procurement details do not establish that large size, a particular accreditation or a specific qualification was a condition of award. Providers with a focused placement offer and the practical capability to meet the council’s requirement are the most relevant comparators.
