## Summary

The procurement process involves Bristol City Council, which has initiated a tender titled "Contracted work on Better Lives Programme." This project falls under the social research services category and is located in the South West of the United Kingdom. The current procurement stage is complete, with a contract value of £1,000,000. The contract period commenced on 10th May 2018 and is scheduled to conclude on 28th February 2019. The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social research and transformation services, particularly those that can provide specific expertise required to support the delivery of complex programmes. Companies with experience in public sector contracts and the capacity to contribute to mature service delivery processes would be well-suited to compete in future procurement opportunities of a similar nature. The project is aimed at enhancing adult social care services, creating avenues for organisations that can engage in strategic service improvements.

## Notice

The role of the contracted supplier will be to bring specific skills and expertise to projects within the programme where the Council team is currently unable to drive the work forwards at the required pace.
