## Summary

This public procurement contract, under the auspices of Bristol City Council, concerns a project titled "Social Care or Education Placement" and falls within the health and social work services industry category. The contract is focused in the Bristol area, UKK11 region, and was awarded through a direct procurement method without competition. The process is at the awarding stage, with the contract start date noted as 27th August 2025, and an end date of 31st March 2026. The legal basis for the contract is set by UKPGA 2023/54, and it is considered a "light touch" regime, emphasising specialised procurement criteria.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses interested in collaborating with public authorities in the delivery of essential social services.
