Summary of the contracting process

Bristol City Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "Social Care or Education Placement," which falls under the services category. The process was conducted through a direct method, under a light-touch regime and was below the threshold, resulting in a contract awarded without competition.

The contract, valued at £459,485.71, is primarily aimed at the delivery of health and social work services within the region of South West England (UKK1). The supplier, Queensbridge Care Ltd, will be responsible for the service provisions as detailed in the contract notice.
