## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council commissioned support in a residential children’s home as part of its independent placement services. The requirement is for children’s residential care and support, rather than general community social care. The recorded delivery location is Lincoln, Lincolnshire. The procurement was described as a call-off from the council’s open select list for independent placements, reflecting a specific placement requirement within its children’s services. The named service provider is Bridgeway House Children’s Services Ltd. This is a service contract, with the stated purpose of providing support in a residential children’s home.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bridgeway House Children’s Services Ltd through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 7 October 2026, and the contract runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The recorded award value is £0, so it does not indicate the commercial value of the placement. The earlier submission deadline was 10 November 2025 at 12 noon. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published procurement data does not state the evaluation criteria, so no basis for comparing or scoring providers can be reported.

For providers of residential children’s care, this award demonstrates Lincolnshire County Council’s use of its independent placement select list to source support for a children’s home placement. A credible competitor for similar council requirements would need to deliver residential care and support for children and be able to work within a selective framework call-off route. The award provides a concrete example of the type of service the council has commissioned and of a specialist children’s services provider selected for it. Organisations of different sizes, including SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, were identified as suitable to participate. Providers whose work is limited to non-residential support or unrelated social services are less closely aligned with this specific requirement.
