Social Care or Education Placement

This public procurement process, led by Bristol City Council, focused on the provision of a "Social Care or Education Placement" service. The contracting process has been completed, and the contract was awarded on 29th August 2025. The procurement was conducted using a direct method below the threshold, which did not necessitate open competition, in alignment with legislative provisions under the legal basis ID 2023/54.

The contract has been active since 1st September 2025 and will run until 31st March 2026, delivering services primarily in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This falls under the industry category of health and social work services, classified by the CPV code 85000000. This tender offers business growth potential primarily to large-scale providers specialised in delivering social and health care services.

Given the nature of the procurement method, businesses already familiar and compliant with direct contracts in the public sector will find this opportunity advantageous. The successful supplier, Step by Step Homes Ltd, illustrates the type of organisation suited for these services, suggesting that entities proficient in delivering specialised care with experience in handling large-scale contracts are well-positioned to compete in similar tenders.
