Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council is planning to re-commission the Appropriate Adults Service, aimed primarily at children and vulnerable adults within the criminal justice system. The procurement title is "Appropriate Adults Service," classified under social services (CPV code: 85320000). The contract value is set at £210,000, with the service intended to begin on 1st December 2021, following the current contract's expiry on 30th November 2021. The market engagement questionnaire will be available from 16th August 2021, providing an opportunity for potential providers to express their views and challenges in this service area, which will be required across Lincolnshire, particularly in custody suites located in Lincoln, Grantham, Skegness, and Boston.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social care and support services, particularly those experienced in working with vulnerable populations. Companies that are well-suited to compete may include those providing outreach and mentoring services, legal support, or advocacy for young and vulnerable individuals. Additionally, consortia bids or partnerships that can deliver high-quality, comprehensive service across the county could be advantageous. Engaging early through the market questionnaire can allow businesses to shape their proposals in alignment with the Council's expectations and requirements.
