## Summary

Bristol City Council commissioned a social care and education placement service. The published scope identifies health and social work services, but does not describe the placement model, intended service users or specific care and education activities. Delivery is in the South West of England. This is a council service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work, and is relevant to providers able to deliver social care and education placements for a local authority. The buyer is Bristol City Council.

The procurement is complete and awarded to SILVER LINING CONVERGENCE LTD, which signed the contract on 14 July 2026. The service period runs from 15 July 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract value is £56,178.57 including VAT. Bristol City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the award is active. The procurement was organised as one lot. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

This award shows Bristol City Council buying a defined social care and education placement service through a below-threshold direct award, with delivery in the South West. A supplier seeking to compete for this buyer’s comparable requirement should be able to provide placements that meet both social care and education needs, and demonstrate dependable local delivery over a relatively short service period. The selected provider is a small and medium-sized enterprise, showing that the requirement was delivered by an SME. The available scope is broad, so providers whose services match social care and education placement work are the relevant competitors; the award does not establish a specific clinical specialism, accreditation, staffing profile or placement capacity.
