## Summary

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care & Education Placement," targeting health and social work services in the UK. The contract, awarded on 31st October 2025, is valued at £227,982.86 and spans from 1st November 2025 to 31st March 2030. As a public authority, Bristol City Council employed a direct procurement method, specifically a below-threshold light touch regime, which does not necessitate a competitive tendering process. This procurement aligns with sub-central government classifications, primarily in the UKK1 region, illustrating Bristol's dedication to enhancing social care and education services.

This tender represents an opportunity for businesses within the health and social care sector, especially larger enterprises, to increase their involvement with public authorities. Although the procurement was completed without competition, businesses positioned similarly to the awarded supplier, Methodist Homes, which is a large organisation, could look forward to comparable contracts. Entities focused on delivering innovative social work services in local regions like UKK1 could leverage similar opportunities for sustained growth and collaboration with councils aiming to outsource services effectively and efficiently.
