    Brief

    Lincolnshire County Council is establishing an Open Framework to commission independent placements for children and young people. This framework enables the Council to source high-quality, safe, and suitable placements tailored to individual needs and outcomes. The framework includes eight service categories: Independent Non-Maintained Special Schools, Residential Care, Foster Care, Supported Accommodation, Domiciliary Care for children with disabilities, Short Breaks and Social Inclusion services for children with disabilities, and two Alternative Provision options for permanently excluded children and those with special educational needs and disabilities. New providers can apply to join at specified intervals throughout the framework term. Placements will be commissioned based on the Council's assessed needs and matching requirements through a call-off process. Framework inclusion does not guarantee any minimum business volume or placement allocation.
