Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has concluded a procurement process for a Homecare Service Placement, classified under the CPV code 85000000, which pertains to health and social work services. This procurement, executed through a call-off from a framework agreement, reached the award stage and was completed on 16th September 2025. The tender process was selective, indicating a targeted approach to supplier selection. The contract, valued at £47,742.24, will be active from 21st July 2025 until 20th July 2029. The delivery location is specified by the postal code DL1 5QT in Darlington, England.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, especially for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as they are deemed suitable participants. Health and social work service providers looking to expand their portfolio in the North East of England could find this contract particularly beneficial. Given the procurement's framework agreement context, vendors already part of applicable frameworks stand a better chance, while relevant SMEs and VCSEs can strategise to join such frameworks for future opportunities. The completion and award of this contract to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED underscore the potential competitive edge for large-scale providers as well.
