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 requirement is children’s residential care and support, within the wider health and social work services category. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, with the procurement listing Lincoln as an address. The service is intended for children who require a residential placement; the specific care arrangements and placement profile are not detailed here. The council is the buyer, and the selected provider is YMCA Robin Hood Group. The opportunity formed a call-off under the council’s Open Select List for independent placements, rather than a standalone purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to YMCA Robin Hood Group. The award was made on 12 August 2026. The contract runs from 12 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The published award value is £0, so no positive contract amount is recorded. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, following a tender response deadline of 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. No lot breakdown or award evaluation criteria are stated in the process information. The procurement is marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This is an award outcome, not an unawarded opportunity.

For providers of residential care for children, this award shows that Lincolnshire County Council uses its independent placement Open Select List to place residential-home support through selective framework call-offs. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need to deliver safe, suitable residential care and support for children, and to respond effectively to placement requirements through that route. The recorded award was made to YMCA Robin Hood Group, a large provider, demonstrating that an established organisation was selected for this placement. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable, so organisations in those groups may also fit the buyer’s stated supplier profile if they can meet the service requirements. The opportunity is specific to children’s residential placements, rather than social care services generally.
