Summary of the contracting process

Durham County Council, a sub-central government public authority, conducted a completed procurement process for an "Out of County Domiciliary Care for an Individual," which falls under the health and social work services category. This contract was awarded using a direct procurement method, without competition, primarily due to its below-threshold nature. The main location for the service is within the UKC14 region. The contract commenced on 8th October 2025 and is scheduled to conclude on 19th November 2025, with the award made to Odara Care Limited, a large supplier operating in this sector.

Businesses of varying sizes may want to explore potential collaborations or direct application routes in similar non-competitive, below-threshold direct procurement processes.
