UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Darlington Borough Council, focused on securing a supplier for a supported accommodation placement for children, identified as ID 406324. This particular tender falls within the services category, specifically targeting health and social work services. Situated in Darlington, United Kingdom, the process has reached the award stage as of 30th July 2026. The procurement was conducted using a direct method without competition, under a light touch special regime, and the contract carries a financial value of £114,488.57. The contract commenced on 27th August 2025 and is set to conclude on 19th August 2027.

This procurement opportunity presents potential growth avenues for businesses specialising in health and social work services, particularly those that can provide supported accommodation for vulnerable children. With the contract awarded to ROC SOLID, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Newton Aycliffe, the tender demonstrates the council's openness to collaborate with smaller, capable entities. Companies operating within or willing to extend their services to the North East of England may find similar opportunities beneficial for expanding their portfolio within the public sector. Given the specific nature and category of services required, businesses with expertise in children's welfare and residential care would be well-positioned to compete for such opportunities in the future.
