## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council procured support for children in a residential children’s home. This is a children’s residential care service, within health and social work services, with the requirement described as support in a residential setting. The delivery location is Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The procurement formed part of the council’s independent placements programme, using its open select list for children’s services. The awarded supplier, Tower Residential Care Ltd, is based in Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Tower Residential Care Ltd. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 21 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The published award value is £0. The original submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12:00. The opportunity was described as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot structure are stated in the available procurement details.

For providers of children’s residential care, this award demonstrates demand from Lincolnshire County Council for support in a residential children’s home through its independent placements programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need the capability to provide residential support for children and to deliver services in Lincolnshire. The selected provider is a large residential care company, showing that an established operator was able to secure this call-off; smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were also identified as suitable to participate. Suppliers seeking comparable council work would benefit from being able to operate within the council’s framework-based route and demonstrate relevant residential care delivery capability.
