Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council, a sub-central government public authority located at City Hall, College Green, Bristol, is the buying organisation for a procurement titled "Social Care or Education Placement." The procurement falls under the "services" category, specifically targeting health and social work services, as classified by the CPV code 85000000. The process has reached the award stage, with a contract valued at £179,094 already signed on 5th September 2025, and scheduled to run from 8th September 2025 to 31st August 2026.

The procurement was conducted using a direct method, below threshold, without competition, under a light-touch regime, and the supplier awarded is Outcomes First Group Holdings Limited, a large company based in Bolton. 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.
