## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the services category. This procurement, governed by the UK legal framework (2023/54), follows a "direct" method, below the threshold without open competition. The location for the service is the UKK1 region, with the contract spanning from 15th July 2025 to 31st March 2026. Awarded to Silver Lining Fostering Ltd, this contract commenced on 14th July 2025. Given the nature of the services, the procurement falls under the "lightTouch" regime and is classified within health and social work services (CPV: 85000000).

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, especially for large-scale businesses that specialise in health and social work services. While the procurement was awarded directly, organisations with robust capabilities in social care and education placements could find future tenders in this sector advantageous. Businesses with prior experience in working with sub-central government bodies like Bristol City Council might particularly benefit from such opportunities, positioning themselves for potential growth in similar service delivery contracts.
