Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned support in a residential children’s home, as part of its independent placements service. The work is health and social care provision for children, delivered in Lincolnshire; the listed delivery location is Lincoln. This is a service requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Almond Care Childrens Services Limited. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award is dated 14 July 2026, and the contract runs from 14 July 2026 to 31 March 2029. The recorded award value is £0. The response deadline for the procurement was 10 November 2025. The procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria.

This award shows Lincolnshire County Council’s demand for residential children’s home support through its independent placements service and a framework call-off route. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to provide residential care and support for children in a home setting. The procurement marked the service as suitable for both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier was a large company, showing that a larger provider was appointed for this contract; the published information gives no specific accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds to use as further measures of competitiveness.
