Day Opportunities
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process is led by Lincolnshire County Council, focusing on the transformation of "Day Opportunities" within the health and social services sector. Located in Lincoln, UK, the council is currently in the planning stage of this initiative, seeking innovative collaborations to redefine previously known Buildings Based Day Care. A key milestone is the submission of the Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire via the ProContract portal by 26th September 2025.
This procurement falls under the services category, highlighting health and social work services, with a "light touch" regime. Contractual operations are set to commence on 1st September 2026 and remain active until 31st August 2029, reflecting the strategic timeline planned for these community-oriented services. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the health and social care sector, particularly those offering innovative service models.
The engagement phase allows providers to influence the service design, aligning with the council's goal to meet community needs effectively. Firms specialising in daycare services, and those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), will find this opportunity particularly appealing. Businesses interested in forming framework agreements with local authorities for long-term provision in the UK will benefit from participating in this tender process.
The planned procurement has a total estimated value of £5,127,570 GBP, indicating significant potential for growth and partnership development.
Lincolnshire County Council is exploring new and innovative ways to collaborate with providers in shaping the future of Day Opportunities (previously known as Buildings Based Day Care) across the county. We are committed to working in partnership to review current services and identify opportunities for working differently, that will better meet the needs of individuals and communities. At this stage, the future model of Day Opportunities is not yet defined.
Through this engagement, we aim to gather valuable input from the market to help shape the new service scope. We will be seeking responses via a Pre-Market Engagement Questionnaire. Once the questionnaire has been published, we ask that responses are returned via the ProContract portal: procontract.due-north.com by 5pm on the 26th September 2025.
We also aim to complete further engagement in due course. If you have any questions, please contact Daycare@lincolnshire.gov.uk
