## Summary

Bristol City Council commissioned social care and education placement services for delivery in Bristol. The recorded requirement is classified as health and social work services, but the procurement does not describe the placement type, the people to be supported, or the service model. The work is presented as a single requirement rather than separate service lots. The selected provider, Mulberry Housekeeping Ltd, is based in Witney, Oxfordshire; this is the supplier’s location, not the delivery location. The requirement sits within the social care and education placement area, so organisations providing relevant placement or support services may find the buyer and broad service category pertinent, while the limited description makes the precise operational fit difficult to determine from the published procurement details alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Mulberry Housekeeping Ltd. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime; the process was not competitively evaluated, and no award criteria are recorded. The contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 17 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its gross value is £62,233.29. There was one lot and one selected supplier. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The available description gives the broad subject as social care and education placement, but does not set out a more detailed specification of the placement or services purchased.

This award shows Bristol City Council purchased a relatively small, time-limited social care and education placement service through a below-threshold direct award rather than an open competition. Mulberry Housekeeping Ltd, an SME based in Witney, was selected. The procurement gives no specific qualifications, accreditations, staffing levels, specialist care capabilities or experience requirements to point to as decisive, so it does not establish a detailed supplier profile beyond the ability to provide the broad placement service. Businesses considering this buyer’s requirement should be able to demonstrate relevant placement or support provision and a credible means of delivering it in Bristol. The award is a useful indication of the council’s purchasing activity in this service area, but does not establish that the same arrangement will be repeated or how a future selection would be made.
