Summary of the contracting process

Darlington Borough Council commissioned residential care for adults and older people, including older people with mental health needs. The service is described as off-framework care and is for a specific individual requirement. It falls within health and social care services. Delivery is in Darlington, serving the council’s area. The work involves providing residential care rather than goods or construction, and the contract is associated with a single lot. The selected provider, Prestige Care Limited, operates Parkville Care Centre in Stockton-on-Tees. This procurement therefore relates to care providers able to deliver residential support to adults and older people, including people with mental health needs, for Darlington Borough Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Darlington Borough Council made a direct award below the procurement threshold without competition. Prestige Care Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 22 September 2026, with a term from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2032. The council may extend it by four periods of 12 months, through written notice, with a maximum extent to 21 September 2036. The contract value is £453,800.50 including VAT. The procurement covered one lot. The published outcome does not state an evaluation basis or selection criteria; the award was made without competition.

This award demonstrates demand from Darlington Borough Council for residential care for adults and older people, including older people with mental health needs. A credible provider for a comparable requirement would need to be able to deliver residential care locally and support these groups safely and consistently. Prestige Care Limited was selected and operates a care centre in Stockton-on-Tees, showing that a specialist care provider was used for this requirement. The contract is a substantial, multi-year service rather than a one-off supply, so suppliers would need the workforce, facilities and operational capability to sustain care delivery over an extended period. The route was a direct award without competition, so the award alone does not establish a competitive evaluation model or specific accreditation requirements.
