Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, conducted by Darlington Borough Council, involved the completion of a call-off from a framework agreement for a Homecare Service Placement. The tender was categorised under "Health and social work services" and was specifically targeted to serve the DL1 5QT area in Darlington, England. The process was awarded on 17th June 2025 and represents the final stage in the procurement cycle. With the contract valued at £95,484.48, the contract period extends from 18th June 2025 to 17th June 2029. Only selective suppliers under the existing framework agreement were eligible to bid for this opportunity.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those capable of offering homecare solutions in Darlington. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were encouraged to participate, highlighting the council’s intention to support a diverse range of service providers. The successful bidder was CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED, a large provider from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, demonstrating the potential for both regional companies and larger firms to compete and secure contracts in this sector. Businesses looking to expand their footprint in public sector contracts related to health services might find similar frameworks advantageous.
