Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement under its health and social work services programme. The requirement covers delivery of homecare services in the North East of England. It is a services contract intended to arrange and provide care in people’s homes, although the published scope does not give further detail about the individual care packages or service model. The council is the buying organisation and the awarded supplier is based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The opportunity is relevant to homecare providers and organisations delivering health or social care services across the North East, particularly those able to support council-commissioned care placements and meet the requirements of the relevant framework agreement.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED on 21 July 2026, with an awarded value of £57,308.16 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 12:00. The published process identifies one lot, titled Homecare Service Placement, and records the tender as complete. The council’s stated suitability assessment identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded award is active.

For suppliers that did not win this call-off, the award is a clear indication that Darlington Borough Council uses its health and social care framework to place homecare requirements in the North East. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to be qualified to participate in the relevant framework, able to deliver reliable care in people’s homes, and capable of supporting council-managed placements across the service area. Operational capacity, dependable staffing, care coordination and the ability to maintain continuity for service users would be central commercial capabilities. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises also indicates that smaller specialist providers and mission-led care organisations may be relevant competitors, alongside larger established homecare businesses.
