Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured a homecare service placement under its health and social care services programme. The requirement covers the delivery of homecare services in the North East of England, supporting people who need care and assistance in their own homes. It is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The procurement is relevant to homecare providers, domiciliary care organisations and other social care businesses with the operational capability to deliver care placements across the region. The council is the buying organisation, and the selected supplier is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, indicating a requirement that can be served from within the North East.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED on 20 July 2026. The awarded value is £47,756.80. The contract period runs from 21 July 2026 to 21 July 2030. This is Lot 2 of the homecare service placement requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, and the tender itself is complete. The recorded procurement category is services, with the requirement classified as health and social work services.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear indication of Darlington Borough Council’s demand for commissioned homecare placements in the North East. A credible future provider would need an established domiciliary care operation, suitable care staff, effective scheduling and supervision, and the capacity to support people reliably in their own homes. Experience delivering regulated or council-commissioned social care services would strengthen a supplier’s position, alongside evidence of safeguarding, quality assurance, continuity of care and compliance with applicable care standards. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led care organisations may be well placed to compete.
