Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement in the North East of England. The requirement falls within health and social work services and is for the placement and delivery of homecare support. The council is the buying organisation and the service is delivered for people receiving care in the North East. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The procurement relates to Lot 2 of the Homecare Service Placement requirement, indicating a defined part of the council’s wider homecare purchasing need. Providers operating homecare services, care agencies and organisations experienced in arranging or delivering community-based social care are the most directly relevant businesses.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Darlington Borough Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 27 July 2026 to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED for £59,696. The contract runs from 28 July 2026 to 27 July 2030. The tender’s estimated value is also £59,696. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off process, with the selected supplier appointed for the homecare service placement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers the North East service location.

This award is useful market evidence for homecare providers and care agencies targeting Darlington Borough Council. It shows demand for homecare service placement delivered in the North East, procured through an existing framework rather than a wholly open competition. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to place and deliver homecare services reliably, maintain suitable care staffing and manage provision across the relevant local area. Organisations with established community-care delivery experience, dependable service management and the ability to work within framework call-off arrangements would be well placed. The requirement’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller or mission-led providers can be relevant participants.
