## Summary

Darlington Borough Council procured homecare service placement under Lot 2. The requirement is for health and social work services, specifically arranging or providing homecare support for people receiving care. Delivery is in the North East of England. The buying organisation is Darlington Borough Council. The procurement is service-based rather than for goods or construction, and concerns an individual placement requirement within the council’s homecare provision. The relevant market includes domiciliary care providers and other organisations able to deliver care services in the North East. The stated classification is CPV 85000000, covering health and social work services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 23 August 2026 to CARE LINE HOMECARE LIMITED. The award value is £78,798.72 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2030. It was conducted as a selective procurement using a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 23 August 2026 at 12:00. This was a single homecare service placement under Lot 2. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with the selected supplier delivering the requirement for Darlington Borough Council.

This award demonstrates established demand from Darlington Borough Council for homecare service placements delivered through a framework call-off. It is relevant to domiciliary care providers and other health and social care organisations with the operational capacity to support people in the North East. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller care businesses and community-based organisations may be credible competitors alongside larger providers. A future competitor would need to show reliable homecare delivery, suitable staffing and care-management arrangements, and the ability to meet council requirements for an individual placement. Experience of public-sector care delivery and participation in an appropriate framework would support credibility when this type of requirement returns to the market.
