Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured a homecare service placement, classified as health and social work services. The work is for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement concerns homecare service placement rather than the purchase of goods or construction works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Springfield Home Care Services Limited. The award was made on 15 October 2026, at a value of £38,205.44. The contract runs from 15 October 2026 to 14 October 2030. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 14 October 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Darlington Borough Council for homecare service placements in the North East, procured through a framework call-off. Suppliers seeking to compete for this specific type of requirement should be able to provide homecare services and participate through the relevant framework route. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses of those types may be relevant competitors when this requirement next comes to market.
