Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare services through a placement service, under a health and social work services category. The work is for delivery in the North East of England. The procurement is identified as Lot 3, but the published description does not explain the specific care tasks, client group or service model covered by this lot. The award therefore evidences demand for homecare placements by this council, rather than describing a broader homecare contract in detail.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CHINITE RESOURCING LIMITED on 15 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £167,148.80. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 14 September 2030. Darlington Borough Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The procurement was categorised as a services contract, with Lot 3 identified as the relevant lot. The tender deadline was 14 September 2026 at 12:00. The award information records the selected supplier and value, but does not set out the evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements for this call-off.

This award shows that Darlington Borough Council buys homecare placement services through a framework call-off, with work delivered in the North East. Suppliers aiming to compete for similar requirements should be able to provide dependable homecare placements and demonstrate the operational capacity to meet the council’s service needs over a multi-year contract. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of those types may also be relevant competitors. The successful supplier was recorded as a large company; the available information does not establish that a particular accreditation, care model or specialist capability was decisive. Credibility will depend on matching the detailed placement requirements and framework terms when comparable work returns to market.
