## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement in North East England. The requirement is for health and social care services connected with placing people in homecare; no further service scope is described.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Care Line Homecare Limited. The award date was 25 October 2026, and the contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 25 October 2030. The awarded value is £74,023.04. The requirement was placed as a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 October 2026. The procurement is identified as Lot 2; no award evaluation criteria are reported.

This award shows that Darlington Borough Council buys homecare service placements through framework call-offs, with a four-year contract period. The opportunity was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller and mission-led providers were considered suitable to participate. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to deliver homecare placement services in North East England and be able to operate within a framework call-off arrangement. The award provides a concrete example of the buyer’s demand and the type of supplier selected.
