## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured a homecare service placement, covering health and social work services (CPV 85000000). The requirement is for delivery in the North East of England and falls within the services category. The procurement concerns the placement of homecare services rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It is relevant to providers that deliver care and support in people’s homes, including organisations able to operate across the North East and meet local authority service requirements. The named buyer is Darlington Borough Council, based at Town Hall in Darlington. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the Homecare Service Placement procurement, so businesses should check that their service model matches this particular lot’s scope before using the outcome as a comparator.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement. The submission deadline was 23 August 2026 at 12:00. CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED was awarded the contract on 23 August 2026 for GBP 50,377.60. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2030. The award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same, and the award covers the full Lot 2 homecare service placement. The process was evaluated through the framework call-off route; the available details identify the procurement method and contract outcome but do not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named award criteria.

This outcome demonstrates established local authority demand for homecare services in the North East, at a scale suited to a defined service placement rather than a major capital project. It is most relevant to care providers with reliable systems for delivering care in people’s homes, managing ongoing service commitments and working with a council commissioning team. The procurement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller providers and social-care organisations can regard this buyer and requirement as relevant market evidence. A credible future competitor would also need access to the applicable framework route, or a route that provides equivalent eligibility for call-off opportunities, together with sufficient local operational capacity and experience in health and social work services.
