Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement in the North East of England. The requirement is classified as health and social work services and falls within the services category. It concerns a specific homecare placement rather than a broad programme of unrelated care services. The council is the buying organisation and the service is to be delivered in the North East. This is relevant to homecare providers and organisations delivering regulated or otherwise commissioned social care services in that area, including small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement relates to one identified requirement under the council’s homecare commissioning activity.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Darlington Borough Council used a selective procedure to make a call-off from a framework agreement. Springfield Home Care Services Limited was awarded the contract on 21 July 2026 for £33,429.76 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 22 July 2026 to 21 July 2030. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 12:00 BST. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £33,429.76. The award is active. The requirement was identified as a services contract for health and social work services, and the procurement was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a council requirement for homecare service placement delivered through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement with Darlington Borough Council would need the operational ability to provide homecare services in the North East, manage placement-based care delivery and sustain service performance over a multi-year arrangement. Framework access and experience of responding to selective call-offs would be commercially relevant. The opportunity is also evidence that the council’s route can accommodate smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so providers of those types may be well placed where they can demonstrate suitable homecare capacity and delivery capability.
