## Summary

Bristol City Council has concluded a procurement process for the project titled "Social Care & Education Placement" under the category of Health and Social Work Services. The procurement was conducted as a direct, below-threshold tender without competition, and it adhered to the legal framework outlined by UKPGA 2023/54. Focused on the UKK1 region in the United Kingdom, the procurement has reached the award stage, with the contract active from 27th December 2025 to 31st March 2030. The contract has been awarded to Hartford Care Ltd, amounting to a gross value of GBP 220,062.86, and it was signed on 26th December 2025. The current status of this award is marked as 'active'.

This procurement process provides substantial opportunities for growth within the services sector, specifically aimed at those involved in health and social work. Businesses specialising in providing social care placements and educational services to public agencies will find this contract particularly pertinent. Given the presence of Hartford Care Ltd—an established large-scale supplier in the UK—it indicates potential for similar-sized companies with the capacity to deliver substantial regional services to engage in such tenders in the future. The tender serves as an incentive for businesses seeking to collaborate with public sector authorities like Bristol City Council, which operates as a sub-central government entity. This is an opportune contract for businesses aiming to expand or establish a foothold in the local government services market in the South West of England.
