Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a project titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the industry category of "Health and social work services". This procurement, conducted using a direct method below the competition threshold, involved awarding a contract to Carbrey Care, a large-scale supplier based in Cheltenham. The procurement process reached its completion in September 2025, with the contract being signed on 21st July 2025, covering a service delivery period from 22nd July 2025 until 31st March 2026.

The procurement was enacted as part of a light-touch regime, focusing on providing essential services within the UKK region. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services. While this specific contract was awarded directly to Carbrey Care, the nature of the project indicates potential future tenders that may involve competitive processes.

Businesses involved in delivering social care and educational placement services, especially those familiar with the nuances of light-touch regime contracts, can anticipate growth prospects by aligning with public authorities like Bristol City Council. Firms that can provide high-quality, efficient, and scalable health and social work services would be well-positioned to compete for similar procurement opportunities in this sector.
