Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed its procurement process for the "Homecare Service Placement - ID284549," classified under the Health and social work services industry (CPV code 85000000). This selective procurement was conducted via a call-off from a framework agreement, focusing on providing homecare services in Darlington, England, with the postal code DL1 5QT. The contract, awarded to SPRINGFIELD HOME CARE SERVICES LIMITED, commenced on 11th July 2025 and will conclude on 10th July 2029. The procurement stage is marked as Award, with the award date being the 10th of July 2025, and the award notice published on the 9th of September 2025. The total value stands at £31,828.16 GBP.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for entities within the health and social care sector. It emphasises supporting SMEs and VCSEs, making it ideal for small to medium enterprises and voluntary organisations interested in expanding their outreach in care services. This contract aligns with larger service providers, such as SPRINGFIELD HOME CARE SERVICES LIMITED, which was awarded this contract, yet it remains accessible for smaller capable entities looking to engage with public sector service delivery. Participation in such frameworks not only provides steady revenue streams over the multiple-year contract period but also enhances business credibility in public sector projects.
