Lincolnshire County Council Home Learning Parcels 2025 -2026 Lincolnshire County Council Children's Services are undertaking a Service Review into Home Learning Parcels and are seeking to engage with the market, and related and involved professionals and stakeholders. Children's Commissioning have engaged with the Virtual School to seek their views on the needs of the cohort, and have also undertaken some engagement with service users of the current programme in place. We are seeking to develop a resource package that supports the aims and objectives of the Service. This includes: - Encouraging reading and supporting literacy and numeracy at home for CiC - Promoting positive wellbeing within the target cohort - Ensuring materials are evidence based, accessible, high-quality, and tailored to individual needs The purpose of this engagement is to explore supplier capabilities, field any queries, and gather feedback to inform the final requirement. The Council wish to engage with providers who may be able to provide innovative bespoke solutions. Those providers interested in providing Home Learning Parcels are invited to join the Virtual School and Children's Commissioning at a TEAMS event on Tuesday 28 October at 1pm. There will be a short presentation and the opportunity for questions. Up to two hours has been allowed for the event. Providers can join the Teams event via: Meeting ID: 321 953 874 028 4 Passcode: 6UW97SN9 If you are unable to access via the details above, you are able to book a place via childrens_commissioning@lincolnshire.gov.uk who will provide the TEAMS link via email. The discussion will allow interested providers the opportunity to digest the information presented at the TEAMS event, ask further questions, outline how they feel the needs of the cohort can be best met, and how they might contribute. Any issues in joining the meeting please email childrens_commissioning@lincolnshire.gov.uk If you are unable to attend the event on Tuesday 28 October 2025, the slides can be made available upon request shortly after, together with a summary of any Q&A at the event. Interested parties will be kept fully informed of progress on the project including signposting to any tender opportunity and notices published on Central Digital Platform.
