## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured a homecare service placement for people receiving care in the North East of England. The requirement falls within health and social work services and concerns the delivery of homecare rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The council is the buying organisation and the service is associated with its local authority responsibilities. The named requirement is a single homecare placement under Lot 1. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are care providers able to arrange and deliver homecare services in the North East, including organisations with experience supporting people in their own homes and managing placements for a public-sector commissioner.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 20 July 2026 to Springfield Home Care Services Limited for £33,429.76 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 21 July 2026 to 20 July 2030. This is a single-lot homecare service placement, with a tender value of £33,429.76. The award is active and covers the service delivered in the North East. The process was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available details do not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria for this award.

This award demonstrates established demand from Darlington Borough Council for externally delivered homecare placements in the North East. The relevant competitor is a care provider able to deliver reliable home-based support, accept and manage placements, and operate at a scale suitable for a multi-year local-authority arrangement. Providers should be able to work within a public-sector framework call-off, meet the framework’s operational and contractual requirements, and maintain continuity of care throughout delivery. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller specialist care organisations and social-care enterprises may be credible participants when comparable requirements return to the market.
