Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placements, a health and social care service for people receiving care at home. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of its Homecare Service Placement procurement. Delivery is in the North East of England. The named buyer is Darlington Borough Council; the selected provider is Care Line Homecare Limited.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Care Line Homecare Limited on 18 October 2026. The award value is £33,429.76. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 October 2030. The council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 18 October 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Darlington Borough Council for homecare service placements in the North East, procured through a framework call-off. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement from this buyer would need to demonstrate that they can deliver homecare services and meet the needs of people receiving support in their homes. The successful provider is a large company, but the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller and community-based providers may be relevant competitors. The award provides a concrete example of the service type, delivery area and route the council used for this requirement; suppliers with relevant homecare delivery capacity and experience are best placed to assess their fit.
