Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council is in the planning phase of a procurement process for the Home Based Reablement Service (HBRS) across the region. This initiative falls under the services industry category and focuses on social work and related services. Aimed to support individuals in regaining independence at home, the service is expected to start on 1st November 2026 and run until 31st October 2029. Currently, the council is conducting pre-market engagement to gather input on shaping the new HBRS service model, with a deadline for submissions via ProContract portal by 18th September 2025.

Engaging in this procurement process enables businesses to potentially expand their service offerings and footprint within the UK's social care sector, aligning with the council's commitment to innovative and collaborative service delivery. Businesses adept in outcome-focused and person-centred service provision would be well-suited to consider this opportunity.
