Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has procured homecare service placements, within health and social care services, for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement is identified as Lot 1 of its Homecare Service Placement procurement. The service is for arranging homecare placements; the published description does not set out further detail about the care tasks or number of people supported.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Springfield Home Care Services Limited on 31 August 2026. The awarded value is £47,756.80. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2030. The council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 31 August 2026 at 12:00. The process is identified as one lot, and the service was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement data does not describe the evaluation criteria.

This award shows that Darlington Borough Council buys homecare service placements through framework call-offs, with a single supplier selected for this requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work with this buyer should be able to deliver homecare placements in the North East and demonstrate the operational capacity to meet the council’s service requirement over a multi-year contract. The procurement also indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to take part, so providers of those kinds may be relevant competitors. The successful supplier was a large homecare company, providing a benchmark for the type of provider selected. The available description does not set out specific care specialisms, staffing levels or accreditations, so no more detailed capability requirements can be inferred.
