## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service. The requirement falls within health and social work services and is intended to support placements arranged by the council. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was handled by Bristol City Council, a sub-central public authority. The scope is described as a single placement requirement rather than a broader programme of social care, education, or communications services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore be organisations providing health, social care, or related placement services, particularly where their work can support people requiring an education or social care placement. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service procurement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. Verizon UK Limited was selected for the single lot, with the award recorded as active on 6 August 2026. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 30 June 2028. Its gross value is £7,054.69. The award concerns health and social work services and relates to the social care and education placement requirement. The contracting route was direct award rather than an open or competitive tender, so the outcome reflects a procurement made without competing bids. The contract value is below the applicable threshold.

For suppliers that did not receive this award, the procurement provides evidence that Bristol City Council purchases social care and education placement services through a direct, below-threshold route. A credible future provider would need to deliver services within the health and social work field and understand the practical requirements of arranging or supporting placements for the council. Relevant experience in social care, education placements, safeguarding, care coordination, and working with public-sector referral or commissioning processes would help demonstrate fit, where applicable to the council’s future requirements. The selected supplier was a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with established organisational capacity for this requirement. Competitors should monitor this buyer’s comparable purchasing activity and understand its light-touch service context.
