Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned support in a residential children’s home, as part of its independent placement services. The work is a children’s residential care service, classified under health and social work services (CPV 85000000). Delivery is in Lincolnshire, with a recorded address in Lincoln. The requirement concerns support for children living in a residential home; it is a service rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The procurement was run as a call-off from the council’s framework for independent placements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to New Options. The award was made on 15 October 2026, with an award value recorded as £0. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12 noon. The published information does not set out lot divisions or evaluation criteria, so the award basis cannot be described further. The process covered residential support for children through the council’s independent placement arrangements.

This award shows Lincolnshire County Council’s demand for residential children’s home support through its independent placement framework. New Options was selected for this requirement, indicating that providers able to deliver residential care and support for children are relevant competitors for similar council placements. The opportunity is suited to organisations with the operational capacity to run or support a children’s residential home and meet the requirements of independent placement work. The procurement was a framework call-off, so familiarity with the council’s framework route and the ability to respond to call-off requirements are commercially pertinent. The council marked the procurement as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, widening the types of provider that may be able to compete.
