Social Care or Education Placement

The recent procurement process initiated by Bristol City Council has culminated in the award of a contract for "Social Care or Education Placement." The project falls under the health and social work services category and takes place in the UKK1 region, United Kingdom. The procurement employed a direct method, classified as below threshold and without competition, adhering to the "lightTouch" regime.

The award stage was completed with documents published on 29th October 2025, while the contract period spans from 29th September 2025 to 31st August 2026. The total gross value of the contract is £383,289, signed on 23rd September 2025, with ASPRIS Children's Services Limited selected as the supplier. This procurement offers robust opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social work services, especially those capable of delivering education placements.

Large organisations with similar offerings and the capacity to handle substantial contracts would be well-suited to participate in future tenders from Bristol City Council. With a preference for direct procurement methods, businesses should aim for agility and readiness to engage in contracts falling within the lightTouch regime, potentially facilitating shorter procurement cycles and broader opportunities for growth and partnership with council entities.
