Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has awarded a contract for the provision of two block beds of children's residential care in Darlington. This contract, awarded to St Cuthberts Care, falls under the health and social work services category. The procurement stage of this contract is complete, and the services will commence from 27th January 2025, continuing until 26th January 2028. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the necessity to avoid disruption for the children already in placement and to ensure continuity of care within the locality of Darlington.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social care services, particularly those with the capability to deliver bespoke residential care for children. Companies within this sector can leverage this contract to expand their service offerings and establish a stable revenue stream over the three-year period. The procurement necessitates providers who can ensure stability and demonstrate experience in maintaining the progress and welfare of children in residential care settings, making it ideal for experienced SMEs in health and social work services. Additionally, the limited procurement method indicates a need for specialised services that uniquely benefit the children’s continuity of care in the local area.
