Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured support for children placed in a residential children's home. This is a social care service within the wider health and social work services category, with related community and personal services. Delivery is in the East Midlands, including the area associated with the council's Lincoln offices. The requirement concerns independent placement provision for children's services, under the council's Open Select List for independent placements. It is relevant to organisations that operate residential children's homes or provide care and support for children in residential placements. The buyer is Lincolnshire County Council, which is responsible for arranging and using the service.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender closed on 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to Brinscall Care Limited on 12 June 2026. The awarded value is recorded as £0. The contract runs from 12 June 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award is active and the overall tender status is complete. The procurement was for services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award covers one residential children's support requirement rather than multiple separately awarded lots.

This award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for independent residential children's home provision through a framework call-off route. A credible future competitor would need to operate an appropriate residential children's home and deliver safe, consistent support for children placed by the council. Relevant providers are likely to be established independent care organisations with the staffing, premises, safeguarding arrangements and operational capacity needed for residential placements. The opportunity is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be well placed where they can meet the council's placement requirements. Experience delivering children's residential care would be directly relevant.
