Residential Framework Agreement

The procurement process is being led by Lincolnshire County Council for a "Residential Framework Agreement," focused on providing long and short-term personal care within care homes or care homes with nursing. This process falls under the services procurement category, specifically targeting health and social work services. The planned procurement notice was issued on 23rd May 2025, and the initiative is in the planning stage, with future notice communications set for 1st September 2025.

This framework agreement spans a period from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with an estimated value of £540 million. The procurement is designed to facilitate a framework agreement with planned operations within the UKF3 region. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly those capable of delivering comprehensive personal care services in residential settings.

The framework's emphasis on both long and short-term care suggests opportunities for providers specialising in elderly care or specialised nursing services. Additionally, the procurement encourages participation from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and ventures run by voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), making it an attractive prospect for a variety of service-based businesses aiming to strengthen their market presence in public sector contracts.
