## Summary

The procurement process involves Darlington Borough Council as the buying organisation, seeking services under the title "Short breaks through play" within the health and social work services industry category. The tender process has reached the award stage, with a contract value of £12,500, awarded on 31st March 2018, and the contract period running from 1st April 2018 to 31st March 2019. The procurement was conducted via a direct award method, with the tender period ending on 1st March 2018.

Collaboration with the Darlington Association on Disability, the awarded supplier, may also provide insights into effective service delivery within the local community.
