Bristol City Council, a sub-central public authority in the United Kingdom, has completed the procurement process for a tender titled "Social Care or Education Placement" with the reference DN770211. This contract falls under the industry category of health and social work services and was procured through a direct method, specifically a "Below threshold - without competition" process under the light touch regime. The contract, which was awarded to The Granville Care Home Ltd, started on 31st March 2025 and will run until 31st March 2029, with a total contract value of £181,581.43.

It is noteworthy that the award stage of this tender was confirmed as active on 15th September 2025. This completed contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the health and social care service industries, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) similar to The Granville Care Home Ltd, which successfully secured the contract. Companies in this sector that can provide quality social care or educational placement services are well-positioned to compete in similar procurement opportunities, especially those operating in the region covered by the Bristol City Council.

The light-touch procurement regime also implies a more flexible and less competitive process, which may benefit smaller or specialised service providers looking to engage with public sector contracts.
