Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council, a sub-central government public authority, initiated a tender for a Supporting Living Placement with reference ID358921. The procurement process was managed through the open procedure method, targeting health and social work services across the UK regions including UKC, UKD, and UKE, with a contract value grossing £3,369,728.56. The tender reached completion, as documented on 7th August 2025, following a series of updates, including its cancellation due to urgent and unforeseen changes in service needs. The tender period concluded on 18th July 2025 with the award phase set to end by 20th August 2025. However, due to changes, the supportive living placement plan was modified significantly, necessitating a new approach.

This tender presents remarkable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those familiar with the varying needs of supportive living placements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable contenders, given the contract's inclusive suitability criteria. With a potential extension of the contract up to a period of 5 x 5 years, this opportunity could offer prolonged business engagement and steady revenue streams for organisations capable of adapting to dynamic service requirements. The open procedure allows for electronic submissions, facilitating broader participation across diverse businesses in the specified regions.
