Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for a Homecare Service Placement under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services (CPV code 85000000). The procurement was executed through a selective method, specifically a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender, titled "Homecare Service Placement - ID5011820," covers services to be supplied at postal code DL1 5QT, England.
