## Summary

The procurement process involves Bristol City Council contracting Craigdale Care Limited for the provision of social care or education placements. This contract falls under the health and social work services category and is set within the UKK1 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement is being carried out using a "direct" method, specifically described as "Below threshold - without competition," which aligns with the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 18 March 2025, and it is set to run from 20 March 2025 to 19 March 2029, with a total value of £220,877.14. The process has moved past the award stage, marked as complete, with completion noted on 15 September 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium enterprises, particularly those in the health and social care sector, to engage with local government contracts without the need for extensive competition. Given that the contract was awarded to Craigdale Care Limited, an SME, the process underscores the potential for similar-sized businesses to secure sub-central government procurement opportunities, driving industry growth and development for specialised services in education and care placements.
