Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has successfully completed a direct procurement process for the provision of "Social Care or Education Placement" services, using a method classified as "Below threshold - without competition" under the light-touch regime. The process culminated in the award of a contract to Iris Care Group Limited on 29th September 2025, with an active status and a duration extending from 29th September 2025 to 31st August 2026. The procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically targeting health and social work services, and is valued at £402,381 GBP.

The services are to be delivered in the United Kingdom, particularly within the South West, as determined by the delivery address region UKK1. This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the health and social work services industry, particularly those with capabilities in social care or educational services. Although this specific tender was executed without competition, organisations that match the profile of Iris Care Group Limited—a large-scale supplier in Cardiff—could position themselves for similar opportunities in the future.

Businesses with a focus on delivering efficient and specialised social care and education placements would benefit from exploring upcoming procurement needs with local government authorities, enhancing their service portfolios, and potentially expanding their footprints within the public sector.
