This procurement offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in social care or educational placements, particularly those experienced in providing health and social services. Although this tender has been awarded, businesses operating in similar sectors could position themselves for future opportunities by understanding the needs and preferences of sub-central government bodies like Bristol City Council. Organisations with the capability to deliver specialised care services would be well-suited to similar procurements, especially those familiar with light-touch procurement procedures.
