## Summary

Newcastle City Council commissioned an independent residential placement for one child or young person. The requirement is for residential care rather than a general health or social work service, and the recorded delivery area is Lancashire. The council is the buyer and the placement is a single-lot service. The selected provider is Oaktree Childcare Limited, a small and medium-sized enterprise based in Blackpool.

The procurement is complete and Oaktree Childcare Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 12 May 2027 to 23 December 2030. Its recorded value is £50. The procurement was below threshold. The process is recorded as complete, with the contract active. The placement is for one child or young person; the published award information does not give a separate award date or evaluation basis.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible provider would need to deliver independent residential care for an individual child or young person and operate in the relevant delivery area. This award shows that Newcastle City Council buys a single placement through a below-threshold route, and that a small or medium-sized provider can be selected. Providers with a suitable residential-care service and the capacity to support an individual placement are the closest fit to this requirement.
