Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed the procurement process for the "Homecare Service Placement - ID5019238," classified under the "Health and social work services" category. The contract, valued at £31,828.16, was awarded on 2nd April 2025 to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED. The procurement was conducted through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The services will be delivered in Darlington, with the contract period running from 3rd April 2025 to 2nd April 2029. This procurement process has reached the award stage, and key deadlines and events have already passed, including the tender period end date on 2nd April 2025.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) interested in the health and social care sectors. The call-off from a framework agreement suggests a pre-established supplier network, offering a less competitive entry point for businesses capable of delivering homecare services. Companies with the capacity to provide health and social work services, especially those with local expertise or previous framework experience, would be well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in future procurement rounds.
