Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Homecare Service Placement - ID5008517" was managed by Darlington Borough Council, a key buying organisation in the region. Falling under the Health and Social Work Services category (CPV: 85000000), the contract was awarded in the Award stage on 20th March 2025, with the contract period spanning from 21st March 2025 to 20th March 2029. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating a pre-selected supplier pool. The services are to be delivered in the location with postal code DL1 5QT, with the entire tender valued at £59,696 GBP.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). The call-off nature of the contract from a framework agreement suggests that businesses already positioned within this framework, especially those experienced in providing health and social services, would be well-suited to benefit. As the project spans over four years, it provides a stable revenue stream and potential for long-term partnership with the Darlington Borough Council, making it particularly attractive for established businesses in the care services sector looking to expand their regional footprint.
