Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured support for a residential children's home, within the health and social work services and wider community, social and personal services categories. The requirement covers independent placement services for children and forms part of the council's Open Select List for Children's Services. Delivery is associated with Lincoln and the East Midlands. The service is intended for children requiring placement and support in a residential care setting. The buying organisation is Lincolnshire County Council, based at County Offices, Newland, Lincoln. This is a service opportunity for providers operating residential children's homes and able to deliver placement support within the council's geographical area.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to Brite Futures Ltd on 24 July 2026. The recorded awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract period runs from 24 July 2026 to 30 September 2027. The procurement was for services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was conducted as a call-off under the 2025 re-opening of the Open Select List for all independent placements. The award is active, with one supplier selected for the residential children's home support requirement.

This award shows that Lincolnshire County Council uses an open select list and framework call-off route to source independent residential placements and support for children. Relevant competitors would need to operate a residential children's home and provide safe, suitable placement support for children within the council's commissioning area. The opportunity is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist independent providers may be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return. Credibility will depend on demonstrating the ability to deliver residential care and support consistently, work with the council's children's services requirements, and provide placements in Lincolnshire or the wider East Midlands.
