## Summary

The procurement process for the Homecare Service Placement, identified as Lot 1, has been successfully completed by Darlington Borough Council, the buying organisation. This tender, in the health and social work services category, involves services to be provided in the North East region of the United Kingdom. Initiated using a selective procurement method, this acquisition was done through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period is set to begin from 16 March 2026 and end on 15 March 2030, with the tender period having concluded on 15 March 2026. The total value of the contract is £143,226.72 GBP, and Springfield Home Care Services Limited has been awarded the contract.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses that specialise in health and social work services, particularly those capable of delivering quality homecare solutions in the North East of England. Suitable candidates include SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and VCSEs (voluntary, community, and social enterprises), although the current contract was awarded to a large-scale provider. Businesses aiming to grow within the public sector healthcare market can benefit from aligning their offerings to meet similar requirements, enhancing their chances in future procurement processes. The collaboration with Darlington Borough Council may open further avenues for expanding business operations and establishing a strong foothold in the region's service supply chain.
