## Summary

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority in the UK, has concluded a procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" service, recently entering the award stage on 16th September 2025. The procurement, identified by tender ID DNYY1370, falls under the Light Touch Regime due to its below-threshold nature, having been procured directly without competition. Based in Bristol, the council awarded the contract to Hartford Care Ltd, a large supplier with headquarters in Hampshire. This contract, valued at approximately £245,095.71, will span from 3rd July 2025 to 31st March 2030, addressing regional needs in health and social work services (CPV code 85000000). The main location for the delivery specified is within the UKK1 region.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, especially those equipped to handle long-term contracts focused on social and educational placements. Although the direct procurement method and light touch classification may indicate reduced entry barriers, supply capabilities matching regional requirements would best position businesses for similar future opportunities. Large-scale companies with established infrastructure and expertise in public sector service provision could benefit significantly from such contracts, fostering business growth through a steady revenue stream and strengthened relations with governmental bodies like the Bristol City Council.
