Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placements, classified as health and social work services, for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement is for homecare rather than a supply of goods or construction work. The procurement is identified as Lot 2, but no further breakdown of the services or placement arrangements is provided in the available contract details. The selected provider is Care Line Homecare Limited. This gives providers of homecare and community-based care services a clear indication of the type of support the council purchases and the area in which the service is delivered.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Darlington Borough Council used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The contract was awarded to Care Line Homecare Limited for £42,981.12. The award date was 12 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 12 October 2030. The tender submission deadline was 12 October 2026 at 12:00. The process is identified as Lot 2; no separate lot-specific value or award is reported. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. No evaluation criteria are reported.

For suppliers considering comparable homecare work for Darlington Borough Council, this award shows that the council purchases service placements through call-offs from a framework agreement. Credible competitors would need to be able to deliver homecare placements in the North East and to meet the practical requirements of a council-led care service. The award demonstrates that the council selected a provider for this requirement, but gives no detail of specific care specialisms, staffing levels, qualifications, accreditations, service standards or performance measures. Those capabilities cannot be inferred from the award alone. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that organisations of those types were considered suitable to compete; the selected supplier is a large company.
