Social Care or Education Placement

The procurement process is being conducted by Bristol City Council for the provision of Social Care or Education Placements, designated under the services category. Situated in Bristol, with postal code BS1 5TR, the council finalised this process on 1st December 2025. The procurement method employed was direct, falling below threshold and executed without competition, classified under the 'lightTouch' special regime.

The relevant contract was awarded to Outcomes First Group (Operations) 1 Limited, based in Bolton, commencing on 3rd November 2025 and concluding on 31st August 2028. The gross value of the contract is £186,058.77 GBP. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social work services to establish or expand their service delivery, particularly within the South West England region (UKK1).

While the procurement method was below threshold and conducted without competition, similar future contracts might offer opportunities for those looking to enter or expand into the public services market. Enterprises with experience in managing educational and social care placements, especially those that are already competitively established in delivering public authority services, would be well-aligned to compete in similar procurements.
