Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned residential children's home support for children’s services. The requirement falls within health and social work services, with related community, social and personal services. Delivery was in Lincoln, in the East Midlands. The work was a service rather than goods or construction, and formed part of the council’s arrangements for independent placements. The selected provider was Parenting Assessments for All (PAFA), an independent organisation based in Heswall, Wirral. The opportunity was intended to suit both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses with a residential children’s home service, or a directly relevant independent placement service, would be operating in the core area of this requirement.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, under the council’s Open Select List 2025 for independent placements. The tender deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to Parenting Assessments for All (PAFA) on 11 August 2026. The awarded value is £0 GBP. The contract runs from 11 August 2026 to 31 August 2027. The award is active, and the contract period matches the published award period. The procurement was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available information does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria.

Although this contract has been awarded, it shows that Lincolnshire County Council uses a framework call-off route to source residential children’s home support for independent placements in Lincoln. The requirement is relevant to providers able to deliver support in a residential children’s home and to organisations that can participate through an open select list or similar framework arrangement. The council identified the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be credible competitors alongside larger established suppliers. Businesses considering future work with this buyer should be able to demonstrate a dependable residential placement service focused on children’s support and delivery in Lincolnshire.
