## Summary

Bristol City Council procured social care and education placement services, classified under health and social work services. The requirement is for service delivery in the United Kingdom, with the procurement associated with Bristol City Council as the buying organisation. It was arranged as a light-touch public service requirement and covered a single placement service package. The scope indicates work supporting social care and education placement needs rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include providers with an established service offer in health, social care or education placements, and the operational ability to deliver services for a public authority.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Bristol City Council awarded the contract to KCOM GROUP LIMITED on 6 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active, running from 2 November 2026 to 30 June 2028. Its gross value is £14,180.46. The award covers the single placement requirement and is recorded under health and social work services. The route used was a light-touch regime, with the contract awarded without a competitive tender. This outcome shows a completed, low-value public service procurement rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This procurement is relevant to suppliers able to provide social care and education placement services for a local authority. A credible future competitor would need practical experience of delivering health or social work services, with arrangements suitable for placement-based support and the needs of care and education users. Suppliers should also be able to manage public-sector requirements, safeguarding and service coordination, although the published procurement does not identify specific accreditations or qualifications. KCOM GROUP LIMITED is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the buyer has used an established organisation for this requirement. The procurement provides a focused example of Bristol City Council’s demand for specialist placement services.
