UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council procured a supported accommodation placement for a child, under a requirement identified as “Supported accommodation placement ID 5570531”. The work is a service within health and social work provision, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is associated with Darlington, in the United Kingdom. The council is the public-sector buyer. The requirement concerns accommodation and associated support for a child, so it is relevant to providers operating supported housing or social-care services for children and young people. Organisations whose work is limited to general property rental, adult-only accommodation, or unrelated health and social care are unlikely to find this particular requirement aligned with their service offer.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to ROC SOLID. The contract was signed on 22 December 2025, started on the same date and ran until 11 July 2026. Its value was £29,098 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract was recorded as active and the award as active. The available outcome identifies ROC SOLID as the selected supplier; no competing tender evaluation basis is recorded because the route was without competition. This outcome provides a clear example of the council using a below-threshold direct route for an individual supported accommodation placement.

For providers monitoring Darlington Borough Council, this award indicates demand for individually identified children’s supported accommodation placements rather than a broad accommodation framework or construction project. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide suitable accommodation and the supporting service for a child, with the operational capacity to deliver a placement safely and reliably. ROC SOLID was identified as a small and medium-sized enterprise and a voluntary, community or social enterprise, showing that this type of council requirement can be fulfilled by a specialist smaller provider in the VCSE sector. Relevant organisations should therefore assess their children’s accommodation capability, local delivery arrangements and ability to respond through the council’s chosen procurement route.
