Summary of the contracting process

Rutland County Council is currently in the tender stage for the management and service delivery of a new residential children's home. Located in the United Kingdom within the UKF22 region, the procurement process, guided by Welland Procurement, follows an open procedure under the "light touch" regime. Key deadlines include 27th March 2026 for enquiries, 10th April 2026 for tender submissions, with an award by 15th May 2026. The contract, valued at £7,000,000 gross, will commence on 1st June 2026 and can extend through 5 additional one-year renewals. The initiative aims to deliver welfare services for children and young people, aligning with the RCC's strategic approach supported by the Department for Education funding to enhance localised care delivery.

This tender represents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). The focus on in-county residential care provides a chance for providers experienced in child welfare and service delivery to leverage their expertise in quality aspects, including service delivery, multi-agency working, and social value integration. The procurement's open nature encourages competitive submissions from diverse organisations aiming to improve the welfare and outcomes of local children. Successful bidders will contribute to reducing dependency on remote placements while fostering sustainable growth and partnerships within the region.
