## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement as a health and social work service. The requirement covers the delivery of homecare services in the North East of England, supporting people who need care in their own homes. The council is the buying organisation and the service is classified under CPV 85000000, covering health and social work services. This is a service opportunity rather than a goods supply or construction project. The named requirement is for one homecare service placement, with delivery associated with Darlington Borough Council’s area of responsibility in the North East. Businesses operating in domiciliary care, home support or related social care provision would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to deliver commissioned care services across the region.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 2 August 2026 at 12:00, and the contract was awarded on 2 August 2026. Springfield Home Care Services Limited was selected, with an awarded value of £69,247.36. The contract period runs from 3 August 2026 to 2 August 2030. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The recorded procurement value is £69,247.36, matching the award value. This outcome relates to one homecare placement and should not be interpreted as a wider multi-lot award.

Although this requirement has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of demand from Darlington Borough Council for commissioned homecare provision through a framework call-off. Businesses considering future work with this buyer would need established domiciliary care capability, the operational capacity to support people in their own homes, and the systems needed to deliver reliable health and social care services across the North East. The award also shows that the council uses framework agreements to place individual homecare requirements, so suppliers seeking comparable work would benefit from understanding relevant framework routes and call-off procedures. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that organisations of those types can be credible participants where they can demonstrate the required care delivery capability, governance and service capacity.
