Residential

Lincolnshire County Council has completed the procurement process for an open tender titled "Residential" related to the provision of independent residential care for children and young people. This project falls under the "Social work and related services" category (CPV 85300000) and will be carried out in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender's procurement method was an open procedure, and the tender period concluded on 21 June 2025.

The contract commenced on 23 June 2025 and is set to end on 31 March 2027, with a total contract value of GBP 871,885.08. The award, announced on 7 July 2025, was made to Cocoon Children Services Ltd. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in social care and residential services for young people. Given the substantial contract value and extended duration, it is a promising avenue for organisations looking to expand their operations in the public sector.

Companies experienced in providing residential care services, particularly those able to navigate regulations associated with social care, are well-poised to benefit from such contracts. Although the contract is already awarded, similar opportunities may arise, and businesses, specifically small and medium enterprises, may find such tenders advantageous for growth and scaling in the industry.
