## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for a direct award titled "Social Care or Education Placement," focusing on services within the health and social work sector. The procurement was executed through a below-threshold, direct method without competition and falls under a light-touch special regime. The process has advanced to the award stage, with the contract commencing on 1st September 2025 and concluding on 31st August 2026. The contract, valued at approximately £162,261.96, has been awarded to the National Star Foundation, a large supplier with a presence in the UKK region, particularly servicing areas within health and social work services.

This procurement offers significant growth potential for businesses specializing in health and social care services, particularly those capable of providing education or specialized placements. With the industry category focused on health and social work, companies that already have experience or are looking to establish themselves in public sector contracts could find significant opportunities. Organizations with the capacity to deliver within relatively constrained budgets yet provide high-quality service will be well-suited for similar future tenders from Bristol City Council and other sub-central government authorities looking for capable partners in this domain.
