This active procurement stage employs an open procurement method in line with the "light touch" regime, reflecting its commitment to public authority as sub-central government. The tender, with an estimated contract value of £37,500,000, is currently targeting service provision which aims to maximise independence and overall wellbeing of individuals through personalised reablement goals. Interested parties can submit electronic responses by 11 May 2026, in preparation for the award stage ending on 26 June 2026. Services are scheduled to commence on 1 November 2026.

The focus on personalised care allows providers to innovate in resource management, staffing, and sustainability, fostering collaborations to enhance social value and community engagement.

Notice Title

Home Based Reablement

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.
