## Summary

Bristol City Council procured a social care and education placement, classified as health and social work services. The requirement is for a placement rather than a wider service programme, and the contract is associated with delivery in the South West of England. This is a local-authority purchase aimed at meeting an individual care and education need. The published scope does not describe the person’s needs, the setting, or specific care and education activities, so the opportunity is most relevant to providers able to deliver placements commissioned by councils in this field.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Bristol City Council awarded the contract to Aspris Children’s Services Limited. The contract was signed on 31 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. Its gross value is £471,852. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold without competition, under the light-touch regime. The procurement was arranged as one lot. No award date or evaluation criteria are recorded in the published outcome details.

This award shows Bristol City Council buying an individual social care and education placement through a direct, non-competitive route, with a large specialist provider selected. Suppliers seeking similar council work would need to show they can provide a suitable placement that brings care and education together, and can meet local-authority commissioning requirements. Credibility is likely to depend on relevant experience supporting children or young people with care needs, appropriate staffing and the capacity to sustain an individual placement over a multi-year period. Providers whose services are limited to general education or standalone social care may be less aligned with this combined requirement. The award provides a concrete example of the buyer’s placement needs and delivery model, but does not set out specific qualifications, accreditations or service standards.
