## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement in the North East of England. The requirement is a health and social work service, covering the delivery of homecare rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It was arranged as a single lot under the council’s homecare placement requirement. The council is the buyer and the service is intended for delivery within the North East. The procurement is relevant to organisations providing regulated or otherwise established homecare and social care services, particularly those able to support people in their homes across the area. The opportunity is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Darlington Borough Council used a selective procedure to call off from a framework agreement. Springfield Home Care Services Limited was awarded the contract on 7 August 2026 for £71,635.20 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 1 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at 12:00. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period match the procurement details. This outcome records one selected supplier for the homecare service placement. The contracting route shows that future suppliers may need to secure a place on the relevant framework before competing for similar call-off work.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained local-authority demand for homecare placement services in the North East. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to deliver reliable care in people’s homes across the area, with suitable staffing, management systems and service continuity arrangements. Experience delivering health or social work services would be directly relevant, as would the ability to meet the practical demands of a multi-year council placement. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable organisation types. The selected supplier’s large scale also indicates that capacity and resilience may matter alongside front-line care capability when comparable framework call-offs are competed.
