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 concerns the placement and delivery of homecare support. It was structured as Lot 2 of the Homecare Service Placement requirement, identified as ID5022301. The service is relevant to homecare providers, domiciliary care organisations and social care specialists able to support people in their own homes across the North East. The buyer is Darlington Borough Council, which is responsible for arranging and funding the service. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so it is relevant beyond large national care providers where organisations can meet the service and delivery requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 July 2026 following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED was selected for the contract at an awarded value of £66,859.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 12:00. The award covered Lot 2 and was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. This is an awarded homecare placement rather than an uncompleted opportunity, providing a clear example of the council’s purchasing route, the contract scale and the duration of its requirement for North East delivery.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates demand from Darlington Borough Council for homecare placement delivered in the North East through an established framework route. A credible future competitor would need to be an eligible homecare or domiciliary care provider with the operational capacity to arrange and deliver reliable support in people’s homes, manage staffing and continuity of care, and meet adult social care quality and safeguarding expectations. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that a smaller specialist provider could be relevant where it has appropriate local coverage, management systems and service resilience. Experience of framework call-offs and the ability to price and mobilise a defined homecare placement requirement would also be important.
