## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement service for a person or people requiring support. The work is classified as health and social work services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the award identifies South Gloucestershire Council as the provider. The procurement is a placement requirement rather than a general-purpose education or social care service, so its relevance is strongest for organisations able to arrange and deliver individualised placements spanning care and education. Bristol City Council is the buying organisation. The service sits within the light-touch regime for social services, and the contract was awarded to a neighbouring council, South Gloucestershire Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bristol City Council made a direct award without competition, using a below-threshold route. South Gloucestershire Council was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 30 August 2026 and runs from 1 September to 18 December 2026. Its gross value is £26,898. The procurement was organised as one lot, covering the social care and education placement service. The recorded award information identifies the service category but gives no further evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so the selection basis beyond the direct-award route is not stated. This outcome records a completed placement purchase by the council and the provider selected for delivery.

For suppliers assessing similar requirements from Bristol City Council, this award is evidence of demand for a focused social care and education placement rather than a broad service contract. A credible provider would need to source or deliver suitable placements that address care and education needs together, coordinate support across those settings and demonstrate the ability to meet an individual placement requirement. South Gloucestershire Council, a large public-sector provider, was selected through a direct award without competition, so the outcome shows that this instance did not test competing bids. Organisations with relevant placement capacity, established links to care and education provision, and the ability to work with councils on tailored arrangements are the closest fit for a comparable requirement. The procurement gives no specific accreditation or staffing criteria to use as a benchmark.
