Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured domiciliary care services for its Children’s Services Re-Opening of the Open Select List 2025 for independent placements. The requirement is a social care service supporting children through independent placement arrangements, classified as health and social work services, with an additional community, social and personal services classification. Delivery is in Lincolnshire, including the Lincoln area, within the East Midlands. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. Businesses should therefore have the operational ability to provide domiciliary care to children and to work within the council’s placement arrangements across the relevant local area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The award was made on 5 July 2026 to One Call 24 Healthcare. The awarded value is recorded as £0. The award contract period runs from 5 July 2026 to 31 August 2027. The wider tender contract period is stated as 14 May 2026 to 30 September 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was evaluated as a services procurement using a framework call-off route.

This award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for domiciliary care supporting children in independent placements. A credible future competitor would need to deliver reliable, child-focused care in home or placement settings, coordinate effectively with the council and other professionals, and meet the safeguarding, staffing and service-management standards expected in children’s social care. Relevant providers include established domiciliary care organisations, children’s care specialists and smaller social enterprises able to provide consistent local coverage. Suppliers should be able to mobilise suitable care staff, manage placements and maintain dependable continuity of care. Experience of working with public-sector children’s services and operating within framework call-off arrangements would strengthen their position when this requirement is next reviewed.
