The procurement falls under the "Health and social work services" industry category. Located in Bristol, the contract commenced on 24th July 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st March 2030.

The contract, identified as DNYY1444, was awarded directly without competition, following the "lightTouch" special regime. The procurement stage is complete, and the awarded entity, Granville Lodge, is a large supplier based in Shropshire. The procurement method was below threshold, adapted for direct awards without competitive tendering, according to UK legislation 2023/54.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses specialising in social care and education placements, particularly those capable of providing health and social work services. Although the direct award nature of this contract might limit immediate competition, understanding the procurement landscape, especially Bristol City Council's needs, could be advantageous for future tenders. Businesses with the capacity to deliver comprehensive services aligned with the "lightTouch" special regime would be well-suited to pursue similar opportunities that may arise after the completion of the current contract.
