Summary of the contracting process

North Lincolnshire Council has completed the procurement process for a significant contract aimed at providing care at home services for adults and children. This is structured under three lots: Lot 3a focusing on complex physical and clinical needs, Lot 3b addressing mental health, learning disabilities, and autism, and Lot 4 dedicated to children's care. The total contract value amounts to approximately £47.16 million, distributed across these services. This procurement, using an open procedure and under the "light touch" regime, aims to support North Lincolnshire's healthcare needs and improve services for vulnerable populations. The contract period starts on 20th October 2025, for a duration of three years, with an option to establish new frameworks before the end of this period.

The procurement for care services provides ample opportunities for both SMEs and larger organisations capable of meeting complex care needs. Businesses located within or near North Lincolnshire, particularly those specialized in health and social care services, are well-positioned to benefit. This procurement process is advantageous for entities like Creative Support Limited, EdenCare Support Services, and Hales Group Limited, who have been awarded parts of the contract. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in adult and child care, as well as those equipped to handle mental health and autism care, will find numerous growth opportunities through competitive bids and contributions to a long-term framework worth up to £28.8 million for Lot 3b alone.
