Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured a homecare service placement under its adult or community care responsibilities. The requirement falls within health and social work services and covers the delivery of homecare services in the North East of England. The procurement relates to one placement under Lot 2 of the Homecare Service Placement requirement. The council is the buying organisation and the selected provider is responsible for delivering the service to the relevant people receiving homecare support. This is a service opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project, so relevant businesses are homecare agencies and wider health or social care providers with the operational ability to provide care in the North East.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 August 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 9 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract was awarded to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED for £50,144.64 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 10 August 2026 to 9 August 2030. The award is active and the contract covers the same four-year period. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome records one supplier for this homecare placement, rather than multiple suppliers or separate awarded values.

This award demonstrates established demand from Darlington Borough Council for individually placed homecare services delivered through a framework call-off in the North East. It is commercially relevant to registered or otherwise suitably established homecare providers, health and social care organisations, and voluntary or community enterprises able to deliver safe, reliable care in the area. The council has used a framework route for this requirement, so businesses seeking comparable work should understand framework participation and call-off processes, alongside the practical demands of mobilising and managing homecare placements. The award to a large specialist provider indicates that credible competition can include organisations with substantial care-delivery capability, while the stated SME and VCSE suitability shows that smaller providers and social enterprises are also considered appropriate for this type of service.
