## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care or education placement, classified as a health and social work service. The requirement is for a placement rather than a wider programme of services, and the recorded delivery location is in the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Aspris Children’s Services Limited, based in Leicester. No more specific service description or delivery town is recorded, so the requirement can be identified as a placement but not matched to a particular care setting or educational specialism from these details alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Aspris Children’s Services Limited was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £353,889 excluding VAT and £424,666.80 including VAT. The award is active; the published data gives no separate award date or evaluation criteria. This was a non-competitive placement arrangement, rather than a tender assessed against stated competitive criteria.

This award shows Bristol City Council’s demand for an individual social care or education placement delivered by a specialist provider. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to offer a suitable placement service and demonstrate that it can meet the needs set out by the council when the requirement is defined. The successful provider is a large children’s services company, suggesting that established delivery capacity may be relevant, but the procurement details do not identify required accreditations, qualifications, staffing levels or a particular care or education specialism. The direct-award route means the award does not evidence a competitive evaluation or specific winning technical strengths. Providers should therefore judge fit against their placement capability and ability to deliver for Bristol City Council.
