Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Lincolnshire County Council commissioning Barnardo's to deliver and develop a Supported Lodgings service within Lincolnshire. The contract falls under the health and social work services industry category and is valued at £34,042. The services are to be delivered in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement followed an open procedure, and the award stage is complete, with the contract period running from April 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025. The tender period concluded on March 30, 2025. This project aims to provide Ofsted-registered supported accommodation for care-experienced young people aged 16 to 21, as well as other 16-17 year olds presenting as homeless.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social work services, particularly those experienced in developing systems for supported accommodation. While the award has been made to a large organisation, Barnardo's, other companies, especially those with expertise in recruiting, training, and supporting lodgings providers, can look to develop similar offerings to meet the council's standards in future tenders. Although SMEs and VCSEs were not targeted in this procurement, businesses with a strong understanding of Ofsted regulations and a capability for managing supported lodgings schemes could find opportunities in subsequent contracts in this niche area.
