UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement, categorised as health and social work services. The requirement combines care and educational placement provision for a person or people served by the council. The contracted services are for delivery in the South West of England. The procurement was structured as one lot and awarded to Elysium Healthcare Limited. This is a council-funded placement service rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, so it is most relevant to providers able to deliver care and education placements for local authority clients. The available description does not set out a more detailed service model or placement specification.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council awarded the single-lot contract to Elysium Healthcare Limited. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 20 July 2026 and runs from 21 July 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its gross value is £33,150. The award is recorded as active, with the contract in progress. No competitive evaluation or award criteria are set out; the supplier was selected through the direct-award route. The procurement was for services and the contract relates to the one lot covering the social care and education placement requirement.

For providers considering similar local-authority placement work, this award demonstrates Bristol City Council’s demand for health and social care services that include an education placement. A credible competitor would need to show it can deliver suitable care and educational provision for the relevant placement, and work with a council as the commissioning client. The selected provider, Elysium Healthcare Limited, is a large healthcare supplier, indicating that established delivery capacity may be relevant to this type of requirement. The council used a below-threshold direct award without competition, so suppliers should understand that this particular purchase was not openly competed. The service category and single-placement structure point to a focused provision rather than a broad, multi-lot services programme.
