Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Homecare Service Placement - ID415190 - Lot 3," focusing on health and social work services within the North East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement, advancing to the award stage, utilised a selective method through a call-off from a framework agreement, resulting in an award on 17 May 2026. The contract, valued at £95,243.2, will be active from 18 May 2026 until 17 May 2030. Key dates include the tender period ending on 17 May 2026, with CHINITE RESOURCING LIMITED appointed as the supplier.

Businesses involved in health and social work services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), can find growth opportunities in contracts like this, especially those suited to competitive frameworks. Although the primary awardee in this case is a large supplier, SMEs and VCSEs can still benefit from subcontracting opportunities or by preparing to participate in future tenders of this nature within their region. Building strategic partnerships or enhancing service capabilities in line with government requirements can position businesses advantageously for subsequent procurement exercises.
