## Summary

Bristol City Council recently awarded a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the services category. The procurement, which started on 18th June 2025 and is set to end on 31st March 2026, was conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold, thus proceeding without competition. This process was part of their light-touch regime, and the tender was concluded with an active status award to ACTIVE CARE SOLUTIONS LIMITED. The initiative focuses on health and social work services, primarily within the UK region labeled UKK1, covering Bristol and its vicinity, aligning with the sub-central government public authority’s legislation framework (2023/54). The contract’s total value amounts to £793,760 GBP.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social care or education-related services, particularly those engaged in health and social work sectors. Companies keen on securing future public sector engagements with sub-central government entities like Bristol City Council could substantially benefit from understanding the dynamics of such non-competitive direct procurement processes. SMEs, which can offer specialised or localised service delivery, have an excellent opportunity to harness such engagements to boost their portfolios, establish a foothold in the public sector market, and potentially unlock further growth avenues in the light-touch regime space.
