Social Care or Education Placement

The recent procurement process was conducted by Bristol City Council for the provision of social care or education placements, specifically categorised under health and social work services. This direct procurement method was executed below the threshold without competition, under the legal basis of UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement activity has already reached the award stage, with a contract signed on 30th June 2025.

The contract is set to commence immediately and will continue until 31st March 2030, covering delivery in the UKK1 region, United Kingdom. The entire contract is valued at £245,520. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those with capabilities in handling social care or educational placements.

Large-scale businesses, such as the awarded supplier Methodist Homes, which has already secured the contract, are well-positioned to thrive in this sector. While the method of procurement was direct, businesses with offerings in light-touch regimes or similar public service sectors could explore future tender opportunities with comparable requirements from sub-central governments like Bristol City Council.
