This process is currently in the planning stage with a planned contract period from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2030.

The procurement will be executed using a competitive flexible procedure, and future notices are expected by 1st October 2025. The total estimated value of the contract is £12,000,000, and it is intended to be above the financial threshold with a special light-touch regime.

Engaging in this procurement process can help businesses expand their portfolio and establish a foothold in the social care sector by delivering critical support services to carers. By aligning with Lancashire County Council's strategic objectives, businesses can enhance their social value contributions and strengthen their capacity to serve the community effectively.
