PEP/CYP/ Strategic Partner for Children's Homes
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a Strategic Partner contract focused on developing and operating children's homes and step-down accommodation within the region of UKK11. This falls under the "Health and social work services" industry category. The contract involves a value of £39 million and is set for a duration of seven years, with the possibility of extending for an additional two plus one years.
Initially issued with a competitive dialogue procurement method, the tender required electronic submission by 15th August 2024. Following this process, CF Contact and Support Services Ltd was awarded the contract on 23rd July 2025. The process aimed to prevent vulnerable children from being displaced, preserving local support networks and employing trauma-informed therapeutic work.
This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses within the health and social work services sector, especially those capable of managing large-scale and long-term placements. Given the substantial contract value and the focus on innovative and quality care solutions, businesses poised to grow in this area can leverage this partnership for longer-term gains. Opportunities abound for mid-sized enterprises with expertise in providing specialised child care services, especially those that can deliver social value alongside financial propositions.
The awarded framework expects to ensure continued local service provisions, thus beneficial for entities aiming to enhance their regional presence and impact in the social care domain.
