## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for the "Adult Floating Support" service, which falls under the social work services category. This contract, valued at £327,225, aims to provide short- and long-term housing-related support for older adults, those with learning difficulties, mental health issues, and physical impairments in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender period concluding on 28th March 2018 and the contract period running from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses focused on providing social services, particularly those experienced in supporting vulnerable adults.

Collaborating with organisations like Milestones Trust, which has been awarded this contract, could be a strategic advantage for interested businesses.
