Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" with the award of a contract to Rising Stars Accommodation Ltd. This process was conducted using a direct procurement method, classified as 'below threshold - without competition,' under the light touch regime. The contract, valued at £572,785.71, started on 1st August 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026. The focus industry category is health and social work services, primarily serving the UKK1 region.

As of December 2025, the award status is active, with the contract being signed on 31st July 2025. This tender represents potential growth opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly for SMEs like Rising Stars Accommodation Ltd. Organisations that specialise in providing social care facilities or educational placements and have the capacity to deliver services in the UKK1 region would be well-suited to compete in similar future procurement opportunities. The nature of this direct procurement, being below threshold, suggests a streamlined process advantageous for smaller enterprises seeking to establish or expand their footprint in public sector engagements.
