UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured a children’s supported accommodation placement for an individual identified as 5567668. The requirement falls within health and social work services and covers the provision of accommodation and associated support for a child or young person. The work is connected with Darlington and the surrounding Darlington area. The council is the public-sector buyer. This is a focused, individual placement rather than a broad accommodation framework or multi-service contract, so it is most relevant to providers able to arrange and operate supported accommodation for a specific placement. The service sits within the light-touch regime for public contracts and was delivered by a specialist social-care provider based in Newton Aycliffe.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. There was one completed lot. Darlington Borough Council awarded the service to ROC SOLID, a voluntary, community and social enterprise. The contract was signed on 27 June 2025 and runs from 27 June 2025 to 1 February 2027. Its value is £91,711 including gross value, in GBP. The contract is active. The award covers the single children’s supported accommodation placement described above. The recorded outcome shows a direct appointment rather than a competitive tender, so the opportunity demonstrates an established requirement and an individual placement arrangement rather than a competed market exercise.

This procurement indicates demand from Darlington Borough Council for individually arranged children’s supported accommodation and related health and social work services. Suppliers best placed for a comparable future requirement would be organisations able to provide a suitable placement for a named child or young person, manage supported accommodation provision, and work with the council on an individual placement basis. ROC SOLID’s selection shows that a voluntary, community or social enterprise can satisfy this type of requirement, and that a small or medium-sized provider can be an appropriate delivery organisation. Relevant competitors should therefore have operational capacity for supported accommodation, experience delivering social-care services, and the ability to provide a placement in or around Darlington at the required scale.
