Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Bristol, has completed the procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" contract. This procurement falls within the services category, specifically health and social work services, and operates under the light-touch regime. The procurement process was direct and conducted below the threshold without competition.

The contract, awarded to St Monica Trust, a large-scale supplier, commenced on 10th April 2025 and will run until 9th April 2029, with a contract value of £233,182.86. The procurement stage has moved through to the contract stage, with all formalities finalised on 7th April 2025. This tender provides substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for companies operating in the health and social care sectors.

Firms that specialise in delivering social care, educational placements, or related health services may find such opportunities beneficial. While the current contract has been awarded, similar future opportunities may arise, thus offering avenues for businesses specialising in service provision for public sector entities. The direct procurement method suggests that similar contracts could be suited for businesses prepared for agile negotiation processes with local government authorities.
