Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured supported accommodation for children through its independent placements programme. This is a social care service, within health and social work services, involving accommodation with support for children placed by the council. The recorded delivery location is Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The requirement sits within the council’s wider provision of independent placements, and this procurement was a call-off from its open select list. Suppliers focused on supported accommodation for children and able to work with a local authority placement service are the most directly relevant. The council is the buyer and is based in Lincoln.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Mixed Foundations Holistic Homes Ltd. The award date was 28 September 2026, and the recorded contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award value is recorded as £0, so it does not indicate a usable contract price. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. This was a single recorded award; the process was described as a reopening of the open select list for independent placements. The submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. No evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

For providers of children’s supported accommodation, this award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for placements through its independent placements route. A future competitor would need to offer suitable accommodation alongside support for children, and be able to respond to placement requirements within the council’s service. The selected provider was a large organisation, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; smaller or third-sector providers should therefore assess whether they have the capacity and organisational scale to compete through this route. The award establishes the type of service the council selected, but provides no evidence of the delivery model, required qualifications, accreditations or specific service standards. Providers should treat those matters as key points to establish before pursuing comparable council placements.
