Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
Lincolnshire County Council is initiating the planning stage for a tender titled "Short Breaks and Emergency Provision," within the social services industry category. Located in Lincoln, United Kingdom, the Council aims to understand the best way to structure and procure contracts to deliver short breaks and emergency services through a pre-tender market engagement exercise. Potential providers are encouraged to submit their views by 28th April 2025.
The planned contract period is from 1st February 2026 to 2nd February 2029, with possible extensions up to 2031. This procurement process follows an open procedure, as detailed in the preliminary market engagement notice published on 16th April 2025. This tender represents a significant opportunity for providers of social work services with accommodation and health and social work services.
Businesses capable of delivering respite care and emergency placement services stand to benefit from a contract valued at approximately £5.5 million, grossing up to £6.6 million. Companies with expertise in sustaining informal carer arrangements and enhancing the emotional well-being of service users will find this opportunity particularly suitable. The procurement will be managed electronically through ProContract, favouring businesses that can cater to service delivery in varied locations and engage effectively in the pre-tender market exercise.
Respite and short breaks services offer short term support in a residential setting to give the informal carer a break from their caring role and to provide a meaningful activity for the service users. This is significant in relieving pressure on and helping to sustain informal carer arrangement in the long term, and can benefit their emotional wellbeing. The service may also offer an emergency placement service.
Option to extend for up to 2x 12 months
