What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionLincolnshire 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
