Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placements, within health and social care services, for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the Homecare Service Placement procurement. This is a service rather than a goods or construction contract, and the stated purpose is placement in homecare services. The procurement was bought by the council, with the selected provider based in Nottingham. The service area is described at regional level; no more specific delivery location is identified.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £50,144.64. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 30 September 2026 at 12:00. The process is identified as Lot 2, with no further lot-specific scope or assessment detail stated. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. No evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

For suppliers competing for comparable homecare placements with Darlington Borough Council, this award demonstrates demand for homecare services delivered in the North East through a framework call-off. A credible provider would need the operational capacity to deliver placements over a multi-year contract and to meet the council’s homecare service requirements. The award went to an established, large homecare company, indicating that providers with relevant service delivery capability and organisational capacity can compete for this type of work. The opportunity was also marked as suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so those providers may be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary delivery capability. The procurement details do not identify particular accreditations, staffing levels or experience thresholds.
