## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service. The requirement falls within health and social work services and covers activity delivered in the United Kingdom. It is a public-sector placement requirement managed by the council, with the selected provider based in Leicester. The procurement is treated as a light-touch service, indicating a regulated social care or related placement arrangement rather than the purchase of goods, construction or general consultancy. Businesses whose core work is providing social care placements, education placements, or combined health and social work support are the most relevant comparators. The requirement is associated with one completed lot and concerns service delivery rather than a framework or a multi-service purchasing arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct procedure described as below threshold and without competition. Bristol City Council selected ASPRIS CHILDREN'S SERVICES LIMITED. The award is active and the contract was signed on 31 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 September 2029. Its gross value is £309,999. The main category is services, under the light-touch regime, and the recorded service classification is health and social work services. This was a single-lot award. The published outcome shows one supplier receiving the award; no competitive evaluation basis or scored criteria are recorded. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

For competing providers, this award is evidence that Bristol City Council buys social care and education placements from specialist service organisations, including larger providers able to support a substantial placement requirement over a multi-year period. A credible competitor would need to deliver health and social work services while meeting the practical demands of education and care placement provision. Relevant capability includes an established placement operation, sufficient staffing and service capacity, and the ability to work with a council under the light-touch social care regime. The selected supplier is a large organisation, so businesses assessing their position should consider whether they can provide comparable organisational resilience and delivery capacity, either independently or through a suitable delivery partnership.
