Social Care or Education Placement

The procurement process undertaken by Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority, involved the direct award of a contract for "Social Care or Education Placement" services without competition, under light-touch regime rules. The process culminated in an active award in September 2025, with a contract signed on the 1st of September, 2025 and concluding on the 31st of August, 2026. The supplier awarded, Friends of St Roses, is a large-scale organisation based in Stroud.

The procurement primarily involves health and social work services and is valued at £239,104.62. This procurement presents business growth opportunities for organisations specialising in providing social care or educational placement services. The direct award process suggests a targeted opportunity for businesses already familiar with similar local authority needs or with existing framework agreements.

Companies that operate in the health and social work sector, particularly those with regional delivery capacity in South West England, may find such contracts advantageous for building a strong portfolio in public sector partnership.
