Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a public procurement process for a regulated residential placement titled "Residential placement for - 389483." This falls under the industry category of Health and Social Work Services and is located in the UKC13 region, United Kingdom. The procurement was initiated as a tender and has been awarded using the direct award method, underlining the urgency and specific needs met by the successful bidder, Foresight Care LTD. This process was finalised with a contract awarded on 10th December 2025, valued at approximately £1.5 million, with a contract period from 2nd January 2026 to 16th November 2027, rendering the tender status as complete.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in residential care and health services, allowing them to expand into sub-central government contracts requiring strict regulatory compliance and service delivery capabilities. Companies like Foresight Care LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Birmingham, are well-suited to compete in such opportunities by offering specific services tailored to meet acute needs, thereby supporting business growth through government contracts. Engaging in tender processes with public authorities can bolster a company's profile and financial stability, especially for those interested in social service provision.
