Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured a homecare service placement under Lot 2 of its requirement. The service falls within health and social work services and is intended for delivery in the North East of England. In practical terms, the requirement concerns a provider able to deliver homecare support to people receiving services arranged by the council. The buying organisation is Darlington Borough Council. The procurement is service-based rather than for goods, construction or equipment, and is focused on placing homecare provision through an existing public sector purchasing arrangement. This is relevant to domiciliary care providers and organisations experienced in delivering commissioned home support in the North East.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Darlington Borough Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED on 19 July 2026 for £56,813.12 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 19 July 2026 at 12:00 noon. The published procurement information identifies the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the contracted homecare placement in the North East.

This award demonstrates sustained council demand for commissioned homecare provision delivered through a framework call-off route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to be an established domiciliary care provider with the operational capacity to support people in their homes across the relevant North East locality. The business would need reliable care staffing, supervision, scheduling and safeguarding arrangements, together with the ability to meet council service expectations consistently over a multi-year placement. Organisations already qualified on the relevant framework, including SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, are particularly well placed to compete. Experience delivering publicly commissioned homecare would strengthen their position.
