Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council recently completed a procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement", with the process being classified under health and social work services. The contract was awarded to Outcomes First Group Holdings Limited, a large-scale supplier, under a direct procurement method, classified as below the threshold without competition. The procurement, part of a light-touch regime, involved services to be delivered in the UKK1 region.

The contract covers a period from 30th September 2025 to 31st August 2026 and is valued at £179,094. The procurement stage is recorded as "complete," with the contract notice published on 16th October 2025. This procurement offers substantial opportunities for businesses involved in social care or educational placement services, particularly those in health and social work services.

Although the process did not involve competition, it highlights the demand for services within this sector and the potential for future engagements with sub-central government authorities like Bristol City Council. Large-scale organisations, with experience in delivering specialised care or education services, would be well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. Additionally, companies looking to expand into the UKK1 region or those with the capability to meet the specific needs of public authorities could find this sector a pathway for business growth.
