Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a procurement process for a contract titled "Homecare Service Placement - ID5017167 - Lot 1" under the health and social work services industry category. The contract, valued at £42,856.32, involves the provision of services in the North East region of the United Kingdom. This procurement was conducted using a selective method as a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period commenced on 15th May 2026 and will conclude on 14th May 2030. Key dates included the tender closing on 14th May 2026, with the award subsequently becoming active the same day. The process has recently reached the award stage, with Springfield Home Care Services Limited appointed as the supplier.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses within the health and social care sector to expand their operations, particularly those capable of delivering home care services across the specified region. The call-off from a framework agreement reduces barriers to entry, encouraging participation from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies with a focus on scalable service delivery and those that are adaptable to framework agreements will find lucrative growth potential in similar future public sector contracts.
