Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council commissioned a homecare service placement, classified as health and social work services. The requirement concerns the delivery of homecare services in the North East of England. It is a service contract for providers able to support people in their homes within the council’s area. The buying organisation is Darlington Borough Council, based at Town Hall in Darlington. The opportunity is relevant to homecare agencies and other health and social care providers with operational coverage in the North East. It may also suit smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprise providers, as the procurement identifies both SMEs and VCSEs as suitable organisation types for this requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was made on 27 August 2026 to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED, with an awarded value of £33,429.76 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 31 August 2026 to 30 August 2030. The estimated tender value was also £33,429.76. The published information identifies the service category and framework call-off route, but does not set out an award-criteria breakdown. The contract covers delivery in the North East of England and has a multi-year service period.

This award shows that Darlington Borough Council buys homecare provision through framework call-offs, creating a clear route for providers already appointed to relevant frameworks. A credible competitor would need to deliver reliable care in people’s homes across the North East, maintain the staffing and management capacity needed for a sustained multi-year service, and meet the framework’s qualification and compliance requirements. The requirement is identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, so smaller or mission-led providers can be relevant if they have the necessary local coverage and delivery systems. Care Line Homecare Limited’s role demonstrates demand for established homecare capability rather than an unrelated health or social care service.
