Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of "Day Services Placement" under the tender ID291593. This procurement falls under the industry category of health and social work services and is located in the UKC region, United Kingdom. The process concluded with the awarding of a direct contract on 30th March 2026, with the end date set for 29th March 2030. The procurement was conducted below the threshold without competition under a light-touch regime, as per UKPGA legislation 2023/54. The awarded contract, valued at £40,147.80, was announced on 28th May 2026.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in health and social work services, especially those capable of delivering high-quality day services placements. Companies that specialise in social care services for persons with disabilities may find particular prospects for growth, given the nature of the services procured. Large-scale organisations with the capacity to operate in sub-central governmental contexts, such as the Darlington Association on Disability, which was successful in this procurement, would be especially well-suited to participate in such processes due to their scale and established local presence.
