Children’s Services

1) Children's Services do not operate a Framework for Domiciliary Care.

Packages are purchased through an Open Select List (OSL) arrangement whereby providers accepted onto the OSL are sent referrals for individual children with a disability (CWD) and invited to engage in a mini-competition for the work.

Should insufficient suitable bids be received, referrals may be sent to providers who are not on the OSL.

The average cost for all domiciliary care packages being delivered to CWD is £27.37/hour.

2) All enquiries regarding domiciliary care for CWD should be directed to: LCCPlacements@lincolnshire.gov.uk

They will then be allocated to a relevant officer to respond to.
