Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has appointed a Technology Enabled Lives provider to support services in Darlington, with delivery associated with the DL1 5QT postcode. The requirement is categorised as goods and covers the repair and maintenance of medical equipment, supporting the operation of technology-enabled services for people who use care and wellbeing provision. Secureshield Ltd is the appointed provider. The arrangement was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework, with the Northern Housing Consortium acting as the framework buyer. This is relevant to suppliers that provide, maintain and support medical or assistive technology used in technology-enabled living services, particularly those able to operate in the Darlington area.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement rather than an open standalone competition. Secureshield Ltd received the award on 22 July 2026 for £1,051,441.30, including the stated contract value. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2032, with an option to extend for a further one year. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026. The stated award was made under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Technology Enabled Lives framework. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For suppliers that did not win, this award confirms demand from Darlington Borough Council for a technology-enabled living provider with capability in medical equipment repair and maintenance. A credible future competitor would need to combine dependable servicing of relevant equipment with the operational capacity to support a council-level service over a long-term arrangement. Experience of delivering or maintaining assistive, medical or connected care technology would be directly relevant, as would the ability to manage repairs, planned maintenance and service continuity for users in the local area. The use of a Northern Housing Consortium framework also indicates that suppliers seeking similar work should understand framework call-off requirements and maintain a route to participate through comparable purchasing arrangements.
