Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for a Social Care or Education Placement service in the South West England region (UKK11). The procurement was carried out using a direct method, classified under services with a specific focus on health and social work services. This contract was awarded to Harbour Healthcare and is effective from 7th August 2025 to 31st March 2026, with a total value of £123,013.16.

The process was classified as a light-touch regime, and no competitive bidding was required as it was below the threshold. This award presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the health and social work services sector, particularly those capable of providing high-quality care or educational solutions. While the current procurement was completed without competition, understanding the Council’s requirements offers larger or similarly positioned businesses insights into potential future contracts.

Larger enterprises with specialised skills in delivering health and social services will find such contracts particularly appealing, enabling growth and expansion within the public sector. Harbour Healthcare’s successful bid indicates the potential for lucrative contracts within sub-central government procurement frameworks.
