Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement under Lot 3 of its Homecare Service Placement requirement. The work falls within health and social work services and is to be delivered in the North East of England. The requirement concerns arranging and providing homecare support, although the published description does not give further detail about the care model, service users or specific duties. The council is the buying organisation. This is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. It is relevant to organisations providing homecare or related health and social care services in the North East, particularly providers able to work with a local authority and deliver care through a framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 16 August 2026 at 12:00. Darlington Borough Council awarded the contract to CHINITE RESOURCING LIMITED on 16 August 2026. The awarded value is £66,859.52 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 17 August 2026 to 16 August 2030. The award is active. The requirement is identified as Lot 3, and the published process records a single supplier and a single awarded value. The procurement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates established local-authority demand for homecare service placement in the North East, delivered through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would be homecare providers with the operational capacity to accept and manage placements, deploy appropriately qualified care staff, and meet council expectations for safe, reliable and responsive support. Organisations should be able to evidence relevant health and social care delivery experience, robust safeguarding and care-quality arrangements, and the administrative capability to work within framework procedures. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the requirement is not limited to large national providers; credible specialist or community-based care organisations may also be relevant.
