## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the category of health and social work services. This procurement was managed using a direct method, classified as below threshold and without competition, indicating the use of a special 'light touch' regime. The contract is valued at £255,844.29 and commenced on 18th April 2025, with a completion date set for 31st March 2030. The procurement process, now in the award stage, connects local needs with service provisions in the UK region of South West England (UKK1).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in the delivery of health and social work services, particularly for those with capabilities in providing social care or educational placements. While the opportunity was awarded to Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited, indicating its alignment with the direct procurement methods applied, future similar procurements might attract businesses that specialise in health-related services and have the capacity to meet specific local authority requirements without engaging in competitive tendering processes. Large-scale companies such as Barchester, which can provide specialised and reliable services, are well-suited to engage in such procurement opportunities.
