Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council commissioned homecare service placement, within health and social care services, for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of its Homecare Service Placement procurement. The service is intended to place people into homecare provision; the published description does not break down the care tasks, client group or number of placements. The work is a service rather than a supply of goods or construction. Darlington Borough Council is the buyer, and the stated delivery area is the North East. The procurement was structured as a call-off from a framework, so it represents a specific placement requirement rather than an open competition to establish a new framework.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED. The award date was 9 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2030. The awarded value is £33,429.76. The route was a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 8 September 2026 at 12:00. This was Lot 2; no separate lot description or evaluation criteria are set out in the published details. The opportunity was marked as suitable for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The named supplier is a large company. The award is active, and the tender status is complete.

This award shows that Darlington Borough Council buys homecare placement services through framework call-offs, with the requirement located in the North East. A supplier competing for a comparable future requirement would need to demonstrate that it can arrange and deliver suitable homecare placements for the council’s needs, and operate effectively within a framework-based call-off route. The winning provider is a large homecare company, showing that a supplier of that scale was selected for this placement requirement; the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published scope does not detail specific care tasks, client needs, staffing levels or required accreditations, so no narrower technical capability can be inferred from this award.
