## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Bristol City Council concerns the provision of social care or education placement services. The contract, identified as DNYY1763, fits within the "Health and social work services" category and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the region UKK11. The procurement has been completed with the award of the contract to Calon Care Services Ltd, a large supplier based in Mid Glamorgan, and is governed by legal provisions specified in the UKPGA 2023/54. This direct procurement followed a "Below threshold - without competition" method, which falls under the "lightTouch" special regime, concluding with the contract taking effect from 22nd September 2025 and finishing on 31st March 2026. The total contract value is GBP 419,300.

The opportunity presents significant potential for growth for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those offering specialised care or educational placement services. While this contract has been awarded directly to Calon Care Services Ltd, understanding the procurement landscape and specific needs of Bristol City Council can prove advantageous for similar businesses aiming to secure future contracts. Businesses with capabilities to provide comprehensive social care solutions or innovative approaches in education placements, especially those within the sub-central government sector and with services applicable to the specified regions, can position themselves favorably in forthcoming procurement opportunities. Additionally, although competition was not a factor in this contract, maintaining awareness of upcoming tenders with lightTouch requirements could offer further avenues for potential business partnerships and expansions.
