Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured support for children placed in a residential children's home. The requirement is a health and social work service, with related community, social and personal services, delivered in Lincoln and the wider East Midlands. It is an independent placement under the council's children's services arrangements, intended to provide residential care and support rather than goods, construction or general consultancy. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are providers of residential children's homes and specialist placement services able to operate in or serve Lincolnshire. The arrangement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, alongside larger independent care providers. The named buyer is Lincolnshire County Council.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids were due by 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to Roots Care Group Ltd on 28 July 2026. The recorded awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award is active and covers the residential children's home support service in Lincoln and the East Midlands. The process is a services procurement under a framework call-off, with the tender marked complete. The outcome identifies one supplier and one contract arrangement; no separate lot awards are recorded.

This award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for independent residential children's home placements and associated support. A credible future competitor would need to run a residential children's home, provide safe and reliable care for children, and meet the operational, staffing and safeguarding expectations associated with local-authority placements. Providers should be able to accept individual placement requirements, maintain continuity of care and work effectively with council children's services and other professionals. The route to market is a selective call-off from an established framework or open select list, so relevant businesses would benefit from understanding framework admission and call-off requirements, as well as demonstrating suitable premises and delivery capacity in Lincolnshire or the wider East Midlands. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises are identified as suitable supplier types.
