## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service under its light-touch social care regime. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and concerns one completed lot. The selected provider is Outcomes First Group (Operations) 1 Limited, a large UK supplier based in Bolton. The buyer is Bristol City Council, and the service is associated with the council’s social care and education placement needs. The published information does not identify a more specific delivery town or facility, so the opportunity is best understood as a council-commissioned placement service rather than a general construction, equipment or consultancy contract. Businesses working in social care, education placements or related support services are the closest fit.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. Bristol City Council selected Outcomes First Group (Operations) 1 Limited for the single lot. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its gross value is £248,550. The contract is active, as is the award. The procurement used the light-touch regime for services and was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than an open tender. The award covers health and social work services connected with the social care and education placement requirement. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it indicates a defined requirement for social care and education placements from Bristol City Council, with a three-year service period and a substantial council-funded commitment. A competitor preparing for a future requirement of this type would need to provide social care and education placement services, with the operational capacity to support placements over a sustained period. The selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation, suggesting that the buyer accepted a provider with established organisational scale. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate dependable placement delivery, suitable social care and education provision, and the ability to work with a public-sector commissioner under the light-touch services regime. No specific accreditation or staffing requirement is recorded here.
