## Summary

Bristol City Council has recently completed a procurement process for the project titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the industry category of health and social work services. The procurement, characterised by a "lightTouch" regime, was conducted through a direct procurement method, below the threshold, and did not involve competition. The project took place in Bristol, United Kingdom, with the procurement stage now closed following the awarding of the contract. Key dates include the contract period from 15th July 2025 to 31st March 2026, with the contract having been signed on 14th July 2025.

This tender offers valuable opportunities for businesses involved in the provision of health and social work services. Given the direct award to Witherslack Group Limited, a large-scale supplier from Lancashire, organisations of similar scale and capacity could seek future opportunities with the Council, especially in projects that might require specific expertise in social care or education placements. Businesses capable of operating under "lightTouch" regimes and navigating direct procurement processes are particularly well-suited for such engagements.
