## Summary

Lincolnshire County Council is seeking independent placements within Children's Services under the Light Touch Regime for health and social work services. The procurement process involves a call-off from a framework agreement, classified under CPV codes 85000000 and 98000000, encompassing community, social, and personal services. The tender phase concluded on 16 December 2024, with the contract running from 26 January 2025 to 30 September 2027, in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with The Willows School Limited selected as a supplier. Businesses that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) may find it advantageous to participate in future opportunities with similar criteria.

This tender offers substantial growth potential for businesses operating in the health and social work sector who specialise in placements and care facilities. Enterprises that can provide innovative approaches to children's services are well-suited to compete in similar tenders, particularly those familiar with public sector procurement processes. With an emphasis on selective procurement and call-off arrangements, it presents prospects for collaboration with local government authorities, such as Lincolnshire County Council. Large-scale operations and providers with established frameworks and ability to cater to regional needs would benefit from engaging in this sector.
