Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has concluded a procurement process with the awarding of a contract to HARBOUR SUPPORT SERVICES for providing Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) services. The process followed a direct procurement method categorized under 'services' and utilized the 'light touch' regime, allowing procurement below the typical threshold without competition. Located in Darlington, within the UKC13 region, this public authority operates under the sub-central government classification. The contract, valued at £55,600, is set for a duration from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The procurement stage is marked as complete with the contract awarded and active as of 21 August 2025. Key sectors pertain to guidance, counselling, and community services as denoted by the CPV codes 85312300 and 98000000.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social services, particularly those experienced in handling domestic violence cases. Such contracts offer ample opportunities for business growth, particularly for organizations that can bring expertise in providing community support and counseling services. Large-scale volunteer community-sector enterprises, especially those with a focus on social care and counseling services, would be ideally suited to compete for similar opportunities. The procurement highlights the potential for enhanced community impact, specifically for service providers in the north of England, by aligning their objectives with local governmental support initiatives.
