Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured supported accommodation for children and young people through its independent placement arrangements. The requirement sits within health and social work services, with an additional community, social and personal services classification. Delivery is associated with Lincoln and the East Midlands. This is a children’s services requirement for independent placements, so relevant providers are organisations that can accommodate and support children and young people in a safe, suitable setting. The council is the buyer and Nightingale Noble Ltd is the named provider. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction, and is structured as a call-off from the council’s open select list for independent placement services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to Nightingale Noble Ltd on 10 August 2026. The awarded value is recorded as £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The process was for services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active. The available procurement information identifies the requirement as supported accommodation and independent placement provision; it does not set out separate lots or a stated scoring basis.

This award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for independent supported accommodation placements within children’s services. A credible future competitor would need to provide suitable accommodation alongside reliable support for children and young people, and understand the safeguarding, care and placement expectations that accompany this type of council-funded service. Providers should be able to operate within the council’s independent placement arrangements and respond to call-off opportunities from its open select list. The process was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be commercially relevant alongside larger operators. Experience delivering supported accommodation for children, maintaining dependable staffing and managing placements for a local authority would strengthen a supplier’s position when this requirement returns.
