UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service. The published scope gives no further description of the placement or the people it supports, so the requirement is best understood at this broad service level. The work is for delivery in England; the buyer is Bristol City Council, based in Bristol. The award classifies the service under health and social work services. This is a single placement requirement rather than a broader multi-lot service programme, and the recorded service category indicates a need for providers operating across social care and education placement provision. ORBIS CARE LIMITED was selected to provide the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the data records one lot and one award. ORBIS CARE LIMITED received the award, and the contract was signed on 13 September 2026. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, with a gross value of £269,250. The award is recorded as an active service contract. No evaluation basis or eligibility requirements are recorded for this direct award, so the published outcome does not show how potential providers were assessed or what qualifications were applied. The award covers health and social work services for delivery in England.

For providers of social care and education placements, this award demonstrates Bristol City Council’s demand for placement services through a direct, below-threshold route. ORBIS CARE LIMITED was selected, but the available procurement information does not describe the placement model, client group, staffing profile, required qualifications or service standards, so it does not establish a specific capability or accreditation benchmark for competitors. A credible provider for a comparable requirement would need to show it can deliver placements that meet the council’s social care and education needs, with suitable capacity and relevant experience. Providers whose work combines these service areas are the closest fit; general health or social care suppliers without placement delivery capability may be less directly aligned. The contract’s multi-year term indicates a sustained service commitment rather than a one-off purchase, and suppliers should be able to support continuity of provision.
