Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom, has completed a procurement process for a "Social Care or Education Placement" service, identified as DNYY1749. The procurement, which fell under the health and social work services category, was carried out using a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The contract, awarded to Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited, is active and spans from 26th June 2025 to 31st March 2030.

This procurement process reflects the council’s efforts to engage service providers in the UKK1 region, specifically focusing on Bristol (BS1 5TR). This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services to collaborate with government bodies to address social care needs. While the procurement was conducted without open competition, large-scale suppliers or those previously identified as capable partners may benefit highly from such engagements, as demonstrated by the selection of Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited as the supplier.

For companies aiming to expand their service portfolio with public sector customers, understanding and navigating direct procurement pathways can pave the way for future contractual opportunities. This contract highlights the importance of strategic alliances in the public sector to leverage expertise in health and social care functions.
