Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement under its health and social work services requirement. The service is to be delivered in the North East of England. The procurement concerns service provision rather than goods or construction, and is identified as Homecare Service Placement, Lot 3. This is a council-led requirement, with Darlington Borough Council acting as the buyer. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to providers of homecare and related social care services operating in or able to cover the North East.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 21 July 2026 to CHINITE RESOURCING LIMITED, at an awarded value of £69,480.32. The estimated procurement value was £69,709.12. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2030. This is Lot 3 of the Homecare Service Placement requirement. The published outcome records the successful supplier and an active award; the procurement method was not an open competition, but a framework call-off. The contract is for health and social work services delivered in the North East.

For competing providers, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for homecare placement services from Darlington Borough Council, delivered across the North East. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable homecare or related social care services, demonstrate the operational capacity to support placements over a sustained period, and work effectively within a framework call-off arrangement. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist providers and mission-led organisations may be commercially relevant alongside larger suppliers. Providers should be prepared to show that they can maintain service continuity, manage placements responsibly and operate across the required geography for this buyer.
