## Summary

Bristol City Council, the buying organisation, has awarded a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the industry category of services. The procurement process was completed using a direct method, specifically below threshold without competition, attributed to a "lightTouch" regime. The contract, valued at £324,834 GBP, was signed on 31st March 2025 and is set to run from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2028. The main procurement category is health and social work services, with operations based in the Bristol area (UKK1). The procurement stage has moved into the contract award phase as of early September 2025.

This tender offers excellent opportunities for growth, particularly for large businesses specialising in education and healthcare service delivery. Organisations like Aurora Care and Education - Hedgeway School, who have been awarded the contract, indicate that businesses with established operations in the care and education sectors stand a strong chance in similarly structured procurement processes. Companies that can provide comprehensive social services within a defined geographical location and demonstrate an adeptness for contracts under the lightTouch regime will be well-suited to compete for future opportunities similar to this one.
