Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government authority located in Bristol, has completed a procurement under a direct award process for the "Social Care or Education Placement" project. This opportunity falls under the 'services' category with a focus on health and social work services. It was conducted without competition due to being below the threshold, under a light-touch regime.

The contract, awarded to Sommerville, commenced on 9th November 2025 and will continue until 31st March 2030, with a total contract value of £53,219.35. The location of service delivery is primarily in the UKK1 region, which includes the South West of England. This contract represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services to engage in services with public authorities.

Large-scale suppliers, in particular, will find prospects for growth and ongoing collaboration with public sector organisations like Bristol City Council. Businesses experienced in providing social care and educational placements would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders, benefiting from establishing or expanding their presence in the public services sector. This contracting opportunity not only facilitates business growth but also demonstrates the potential for future procurements through similar direct award processes.
