## Summary

North Somerset Council has successfully concluded the procurement process for post-16 education placements, with services spanning from June 2025 to August 2027. This tender falls under the light-touch regime, characterised by a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition. Boomsatsuma, a supplier located in Bristol, has been awarded the contract valued at £657,402.0, with the gross amount reaching £788,882.4. The contract was signed on 2nd June 2025 and became active on 1st July 2025. The procurement, classified under special education services, is focused on the UKK12 region in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant business development opportunities for enterprises specialising in educational services, particularly those providing special education. The direct procurement approach underscores the potential for organisations with niche expertise in specialised educational needs to engage with public authorities like North Somerset Council. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other education providers looking to expand their influence in the sub-central governmental sector would benefit from exploring similar opportunities to leverage their specialised skills and services.
