Social Care or Education Placement

Bristol City Council has completed a procurement process titled "Social Care or Education Placement" under the public authority's sub-central government classification. The procurement, focusing on the services industry category, specifically health and social work services (CPV: 85000000), was conducted using a direct procurement method below the threshold without competition, under a light-touch regime. The contract was awarded to Penhill Residential Home, located in Bristol, with the contract period running from 5th May 2025 to 31st March 2030.

The procurement process reached the award and contract stages by 15th September 2025, located in the UKK1 region of the United Kingdom. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs, particularly those operating in health and social care services. Businesses that can provide residential care services or similar offerings would be well-suited to compete for such contracts in future endeavours.

The direct award to a Bristol-based supplier underscores the potential advantages for local businesses to engage with regional contracting authorities like Bristol City Council. By aligning their services with council needs, businesses can explore growth possibilities and secure contracts offering financial stability throughout the contract duration.
