Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement for Lot 2, classified as health and social work services. The service is delivered in the North East of England and forms part of the council’s arrangements for placing homecare support. This is a services requirement rather than a goods or construction contract. The procurement was conducted by Darlington Borough Council, whose principal administrative address is in Darlington. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. It is relevant to organisations providing homecare or related health and social care services in the North East, particularly those able to support placements commissioned by a local authority.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 19 July 2026 to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED. The award value is £42,981.12. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 19 July 2030. It was a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open standalone competition. The tender submission deadline was 19 July 2026 at 12:00 noon. The contract was evaluated as a homecare services requirement under the health and social work services category. The selected supplier is recorded as having active award status, and the award relates to the North East delivery location. This outcome concerns one lot and its value is stated separately for that lot.

This award provides a clear benchmark for providers of commissioned homecare services seeking future work with Darlington Borough Council. A credible competitor would need to deliver homecare placements reliably in the North East and operate at a scale suitable for a multi-year local-authority arrangement. Organisations that are already able to work through framework call-offs would be better placed to follow this route, while the stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller or socially focused providers may also be relevant. Experience in health and social care delivery, dependable staffing, service continuity and the operational capacity to manage placements would be important evidence when competing for a similar requirement from this buyer.
