## Summary

Bristol City Council has awarded a contract to TLC (Wales) Independent Fostering Ltd for the provision of services related to Social Care or Education Placement. This procurement process falls under the "services" category and is conducted through a direct procurement method, specifically below threshold without competition, under the special light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 2nd July 2025, with its execution period running from 3rd July 2025 to 31st March 2026. The awarding organisation, Bristol City Council, operates from City Hall, College Green, Bristol, UK. The main procurement category focuses on health and social work services, with delivery addresses specified in the South West region (UKK1) of the United Kingdom. The contract has been completed, and all procurement stages are finalised as of 22nd September 2025.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in health and social work services. Specifically, businesses related to child and youth care, social services, and educational placements would be well-positioned to engage in similar future opportunities. As an SME, TLC (Wales) Independent Fostering Ltd has successfully secured this contract, demonstrating that small-scale suppliers with specific expertise in nurturing and accommodating children in need can thrive in such procurement environments. The lack of a competitive tendering process indicates a potential for businesses that are adept at building strong relationships with contracting authorities and showcasing their ability to deliver specialised services efficiently.
