Children's Social Care and Community Safety

Leicester City Council has initiated the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Children's Social Care and Community Safety." This project, focused on enhancing local children's residential care services by addressing current gaps in provision, falls under the services category with a specific emphasis on welfare services for children and young people.

Located in the region of UKF21 Leicester, UK, the planning phase was announced on 22nd May 2025, with a future notice date scheduled for 1st September 2025. The procurement method aims to be above threshold, ensuring quality service improvements while reducing associated travel costs and enhancing the standard of care available to the community.

Companies proficient in providing residential care services are ideally positioned to compete, as the contract offers substantial scope with a contract period from 2nd January 2026 until 1st January 2029, with potential extensions until December 2033.

Organisations that can innovate and efficiently manage care resources could benefit greatly, as the procurement process intends to not just fill service gaps but elevate service quality, creating potential long-term partnerships with Leicester City Council.
