Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has concluded a public procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" under the services category related to health and social work. The procurement process utilised a 'direct' method, indicating proceedings below the threshold and without competition, in adherence to the UK's 2023/54 legislative framework. The contract was awarded to National Star College, with services to be delivered in the UK's UKK1 region.

The contract, valued at £756,626.20, was activated on 1st September 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2030. Bristol City Council, operating as a sub-central government public authority, orchestrated this process. This tender presents potential opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those experienced in delivering social care or educational placements.

Though the procurement did not involve competitive tendering due to the direct method employed, organisations akin to National Star College, which has successfully secured the contract, may find similar contracts beneficial to their strategic growth. Large-scale service providers or those aiming to expand within the UKK region could significantly benefit from such public procurement opportunities.
