## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council procured independent placements for children through its Children’s Services Open Select List 2025. The requirement covers health and social work services, with related community, social and personal services (CPV 85000000). Placements are to be delivered in Lincolnshire, including the Lincoln area, within the East Midlands. This is a public-service placement requirement rather than a general goods or construction contract. The procurement operates under the Light Touch Regime for social and other specific services. It is relevant to organisations that provide independent children’s placements and can work with Lincolnshire Children’s Services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and completed. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using the re-opening of the Open Select List 2025. The tender deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00. Lincolnshire County Council awarded the contract to Conquest School Ltd on 29 June 2026. The tender-level contract period runs from 29 June 2026 to 30 September 2027, while the award record gives a period from 29 June 2026 to 31 August 2027. The awarded value is £0. The recorded award is active. The available outcome identifies one supplier and does not set out a separate scored evaluation basis.

For providers that did not win this award, the process demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for independent children’s placements sourced through its Open Select List and framework call-off route. A credible future supplier would need to deliver children’s placement services in Lincolnshire and understand the council’s requirements under the Light Touch Regime. The council has indicated that this type of work can suit SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers may be able to compete alongside larger organisations. Relevant preparation would include maintaining an eligible placement offer, demonstrating the ability to support children safely and consistently, and being ready to respond to selective call-off opportunities through the council’s procurement route.
