## Summary

Bristol City Council, acting as the buying organisation, has completed a procurement process under the title "Social Care or Education Placement," categorised under health and social work services. This procurement was managed under a direct procurement method, characterised by a "below threshold - without competition" approach, a common method for light touch regime services. The tender process is marked as complete, with the contract now active, having been awarded to Granville Lodge, a large supplier located in Shropshire. The contract period commenced on 12th August 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2030, providing sustained opportunities within the UK, specifically in the UKK1 region. Legal basis for this procurement aligns with the UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies in the health and social service sectors capable of delivering social care or education placements. Large-scale providers such as Granville Lodge, which was awarded the contract, stand to benefit most, although similar establishments with the capacity to manage prolonged service contracts within the public sphere might find it a pertinent model for future tenders. The process highlights the potential for businesses to secure substantial contracts with public authorities like Bristol City Council, further embedding their role in the public service supply chain.
