## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Lincolnshire County Council focuses on re-opening the Open Select List for Independent Placements for Children's Services in 2025. This initiative falls under the Health and Social Work Services industry category, regulated under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, intended for diverse placements such as Independent Non-Maintained Schools, Residential Care, Foster Care, Supported Accommodation, and more. The process is conducted using an open procurement method, ensuring transparency and broad participation. The contract period is active until 30th September 2027, with services covering the whole of the UK. An electronic submission method was utilised, and the tender reached the award stage on 11th November 2025, confirming multiple suppliers such as Action for Children and Annicare, highlighting a value of £1,000,000 for the services procured.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social services sector, particularly those providing child-care, foster care, or residential services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are highly suited to compete in this process, as evidenced by the diverse range of awarded suppliers, many of which are SMEs themselves. Companies that specialise in providing comprehensive care solutions for children with disabilities or those that can offer innovative placements outside standard local authority provisions stand to benefit greatly. Engaging in this procurement process allows such organisations to expand their service offerings, foster partnerships with a regional authority, and secure a position within Lincolnshire's growing network of suppliers dedicated to enhancing children's services.
