Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured support in a residential children’s home through its children’s services independent placement arrangements. The work is a social care service for children, delivered in Lincolnshire; the recorded delivery location is Lincoln. The requirement is described as support in a residential children’s home, with no further service activities or placement profile stated. The procurement falls within health and social work services and also covers community, social and personal services. It is a call-off under the council’s open select list arrangements, rather than a standalone purchase of goods or construction work. The council is the buyer, and the selected provider is Thodaska Ltd. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Thodaska Ltd. The award date was 1 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The recorded award value is £0, so it does not provide a usable indication of the contract’s monetary scale. This was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, described as a re-opening of the independent placement open select list. The submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12 noon. The available procurement details do not set out evaluation criteria, eligibility thresholds or a breakdown into lots. The award is active, and the contract period is recorded alongside the award; there is no separate signed date or award evaluation basis in the process details.

This award shows that Lincolnshire County Council commissions residential children’s home support through its independent placement select list and makes call-offs from that arrangement. A credible provider for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver support in a residential children’s home in Lincolnshire and demonstrate the operational capability to meet the council’s placement needs. The recorded procurement does not describe specific staffing qualifications, regulatory accreditations, service standards, capacity levels or experience thresholds, so these cannot be treated as stated requirements. The council marked the service suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of those types were considered suitable to participate. Suppliers should note that this was a service procurement, not a general children’s services opportunity: the demonstrated requirement is residential placement support through the council’s select-list route.
