Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has recently completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement," under the industry category of health and social work services. The procurement, identified by the OCID ocds-h6vhtk-05d6b1, follows a direct method below the competition threshold, categorised under the light-touch regime. The contract was awarded on 3rd October 2025 and became active on 6th October 2025, with a contractual period extending until 31st March 2026.

Located in Bristol, UK, this public procurement process was led by a sub-central government public authority and designated as complete by the stated deadline, engaging a single supplier without competitive bidding due to the nature of the service required. This procurement presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses specialising in health and social work services, as these sectors are integral to the contract’s execution. Although awarded to Keys Group Ltd, a large-scale supplier based in Halesowen, similar organisations in the industry could leverage such opportunities by showcasing their expertise in social care or educational placements.

The contract arrangement underlines the chance for businesses carrying existing service capabilities to secure similar deals with local government entities, potentially enhancing their market reach and fostering business stability through governmental partnerships.
