Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council procured a Home Based Reablement Service across Lincolnshire. This is a social work, health and social care service designed to prevent or reduce the need for ongoing care by supporting people after intervention. The service is intended to maximise independence and wellbeing, reduce whole-life care costs and help people move to reduced or no long-term support. Providers will work with individuals to set personalised reablement goals, develop daily living and problem-solving skills, and use appropriate equipment, technology, living aids and community resources. The requirement is classified as social work and related services (CPV 85300000) and is a light-touch public service procurement. It was a single-lot requirement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement has reached award stage. Lincolnshire County Council selected Alderson Limited, with the award recorded as pending and subject to a standstill period ending 13 August 2026. The award date is 3 August 2026. The contract is valued at £37.5 million and is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with renewal of up to 24 months permitted, extending the maximum period to 31 October 2031. The process used an open procedure. Eleven bids were received, with seven reaching the final stage. Evaluation weighted service quality at 80% and price at 20%. Quality covered service delivery, outcomes, partnership working, resource and capacity, staffing, mobilisation, sustainability and social value, and a case scenario. The planned signature date is 14 August 2026.

This requirement indicates demand for providers able to deliver structured, person-centred reablement at county scale, rather than isolated domiciliary care visits. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate how they achieve measurable improvements in independence and wellbeing, support transitions away from longer-term care, and use equipment, technology, living aids and community assets effectively. Strong evidence of partnership working with the council and relevant community services would matter, alongside robust resource and capacity planning across Lincolnshire. The evaluation also shows the importance of service management, staffing and mobilisation arrangements, supported by a clear response to practical case scenarios. Providers should be able to evidence sustainable delivery and social value, while presenting a competitive price. The opportunity was accessible to SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Home Based Reablement Service (HBRS)

Notice Description

The Home Based Reablement Service (HBRS) is a key mechanism to reduce or eliminate the need for future care services by intervening to prevent deterioration, maximise independence and improve people's wellbeing. A central aim of the Service is to maximise people's independence, wellbeing and minimise whole life costs of care. It is anticipated that people will be supported to transition to reduced or no ongoing long term sequential service following reablement support. This will be achieved by setting and working towards clear, personalised reablement goals with the person; developing daily living and problem-solving skills and utilising the right equipment, technology, living aids and community assets.

Planning Information

Lincolnshire County Council is exploring new and innovative ways to collaborate with providers in shaping the future of Home Based Reablement Services (HBRS) across the county. We are committed to working in partnership to review current services and identify opportunities for working differently, that will better meet the needs of individuals and communities. At this stage, the future model of HBRS is not yet defined. Through this engagement, we aim to gather valuable input from the market to help shape the new service scope. We will be seeking responses via a Pre-market Engagement Questionnaire. Once the questionnaire has been published, we kindly request that responses are returned via the ProContract portal: https://procontract.due-north.com/ by 5pm on the 18th September 2025. If you wish to provide a response after this date, further submissions will be accepted via email until 25th September to karley.beck@lincolnshire.gov.uk
