## Summary

Darlington Borough Council is procuring homecare service placements, within health and social care services, for delivery in the North East of England. The requirement concerns arranging homecare placements; the published scope does not describe specific care tasks or the number of people to be supported. The procurement is a service call-off from a framework agreement, rather than a standalone open competition. It is relevant to providers able to deliver homecare placements in the North East and work with the council’s placement requirements. The council is the buyer, and the selected provider is Springfield Home Care Services Limited.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Springfield Home Care Services Limited. The award value is £33,429.76. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2030, and the award date is 28 September 2026. The procurement used a selective process as a call-off from a framework agreement. This is a single-lot requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are recorded in the available process details.

The award demonstrates demand from Darlington Borough Council for homecare service placements in the North East through a framework call-off. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capability to arrange and deliver homecare placements for the council, with service coverage in the relevant area and the capacity to meet its placement needs. The selected supplier is a large homecare provider, while the requirement was also marked as suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that size alone was not presented as a barrier. Providers should be prepared to compete through the relevant framework route and demonstrate that their homecare placement offer is appropriate to the council’s requirements. No particular accreditation or specialist experience is stated.
