Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured supported accommodation for children’s services, under its independent placement arrangements. The requirement is classified as health and social work services, with related community, social and personal services. Delivery is associated with Lincoln and the wider East Midlands in England. This is a service contract for providers able to accommodate and support children placed through the council’s children’s services. The procurement formed part of the 2025 reopening of the council’s open select list for independent placements and was then issued as a call-off requirement. The buyer is Lincolnshire County Council, based at County Offices, Newland, Lincoln. The opportunity is relevant to organisations providing supported accommodation and associated social care services for children and young people.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 GMT. The award was made on 17 July 2026 to oscar.ugo@asconcare.co.uk, with an awarded value recorded as £0. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. The service is intended for delivery in Lincoln and the East Midlands. The arrangement is part of the council’s open select list for independent placements, rather than a standalone open tender. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The tender’s stated main category is services, and the procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award indicates continuing demand from Lincolnshire County Council for independent supported accommodation within children’s services. Suppliers well placed for comparable requirements will be organisations able to provide safe, suitable accommodation alongside structured support for children and young people placed by a local authority. Relevant experience in children’s social care, placement management, safeguarding, risk assessment and coordinated work with council professionals would help establish credibility. Providers should also be able to operate accommodation in Lincolnshire or the wider East Midlands and demonstrate the capacity to manage placements over the required service period. The procurement route shows that access to the council’s open select list and experience of framework call-offs are commercially relevant. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable organisation types.
