## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service for people requiring both care and educational support. The requirement is classified as health and social work services. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, under the council’s responsibility. It is a service procurement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and the process covered one complete requirement. The buyer is Bristol City Council, a local public authority. The selected provider, Aspris Children’s Services Limited, is based in Leicester and is classified as a large organisation. Businesses considering similar work should therefore focus on specialist social care and education placement provision, rather than general education, standalone social care, or unrelated health services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was completed and awarded to Aspris Children’s Services Limited. The contract was signed on 17 May 2026 and runs from 18 May 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £471,852. The award is active and the contract is active. The available outcome data identifies one supplier and one contract for the requirement. No competitive evaluation basis is recorded because the council used a direct award without competition. This is an awarded contract rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids.

This procurement indicates sustained public-sector demand for combined social care and education placements from Bristol City Council. A competitor would need to provide both elements as an integrated service, with the organisational capacity to support a multi-year placement arrangement and meet the needs of people requiring care alongside education. The selected provider is a large organisation, which signals that scale and operational resilience may be relevant when this type of requirement is considered again. Specialist providers whose core work covers health and social care services, and who can also deliver or coordinate the education element of placements, are the closest commercial comparators. Providers of only general education or standalone care services are less closely aligned.
