Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a procurement process titled "Sanctuary Scheme," aimed at providing services to bolster security for vulnerable individuals threatened by domestic abuse to help them safely remain in their domiciles. Falling under the industry category of miscellaneous repair and maintenance services, this process has reached the award stage as of 27th January 2026. The procurement method used was direct, below threshold, without competition, indicating a non-competitive tender due to its smaller scale. The contract period began on 7th July 2025 and is set to conclude on 7th July 2026, with a potential renewal option of an additional twelve months. The project is located in the UKC13 region, specifically in Darlington, United Kingdom.

This procurement process presents opportunities for businesses specialising in security systems and repair services to engage with public sector projects focused on social welfare. Companies equipped to install and maintain security measures could find similar opportunities lucrative. While Stockton on Tees Borough Council secured this contract, other companies with expertise in delivering specialised security measures could be well-suited to compete for similar upcoming tenders in this sphere, especially those that support vulnerable populations. Firms seeking to establish or expand their presence in the public sector service market should consider monitoring such tenders for potential growth opportunities.
