## Summary

Darlington Borough Council has completed a procurement process for a "Homecare Service Placement," classified under the health and social work services industry category. This tender, associated with CPV code 85000000, involved a selective procurement method via a call-off from a framework agreement. Located in England, specifically targeting services in the postal code area DL1 5QT, the tender process has reached the award stage.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing health and social services, particularly those suited for long-term commitments. The procurement favoured entities such as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntarily and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), although the primary awardee, Care Line Homecare Limited, is a large-scale organisation. Given the selective nature of the procurement method, businesses already operating within relevant frameworks are best positioned to compete in future tenders of this nature, promoting sustainable business growth within the health sector.
