## 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 provide placement support under the council’s social care and education responsibilities. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement was structured as a single lot and the service category is services. This is a requirement for organisations able to provide appropriate placements combining social care and education provision, rather than for the supply of goods, construction or general consultancy. The buyer is Bristol City Council, a sub-central public authority. The awarded supplier is based in Bristol, indicating that the requirement has been fulfilled by a local specialist provider.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to CONNOLLY & CALLAGHAN LIMITED. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, under the light-touch regime, so suppliers were not invited to compete. The award is active and relates to the single completed lot. The contract was signed on 8 June 2026, runs from 9 June 2026 to 31 March 2027, and has a gross value of £16,047.43 including taxes. The requirement was recorded under health and social work services. The contract is below threshold. The published outcome confirms that Bristol City Council selected one supplier for the placement service; no separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

This outcome identifies a defined market need for social care and education placements within Bristol City Council’s services. Suppliers considering comparable future requirements would need to demonstrate that they can provide placements which combine social care and education support, and can deliver them reliably for a public-sector commissioner. The successful business is a Bristol-based SME, showing that a smaller specialist provider can satisfy this type of requirement. Relevant organisations are likely to be those with established placement provision, suitable safeguarding and care arrangements, education capability, and the operational capacity to support individuals throughout the required service period. The council’s use of a below-threshold direct award also indicates a route that may favour providers already known to meet a specific placement need.
