The procurement process was managed through the open procedure method, targeting health and social work services across the UK regions including UKC, UKD, and UKE, with a contract value grossing £3,369,728.56. The tender reached completion, as documented on 7th August 2025, following a series of updates, including its cancellation due to urgent and unforeseen changes in service needs. The tender period concluded on 18th July 2025 with the award phase set to end by 20th August 2025. However, due to changes, the supportive living placement plan was modified significantly, necessitating a new approach. This tender presents remarkable growth opportunities for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those familiar with the varying needs of supportive living placements. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are deemed suitable contenders, given the contract's inclusive suitability criteria. With a potential extension of the contract up to a period of 5 x 5 years, this opportunity could offer prolonged business engagement and steady revenue streams for organisations capable of adapting to dynamic service requirements. The open procedure allows for electronic submissions, facilitating broader participation across diverse businesses in the specified regions. ## Notice Provision of a Supporting Living Placement for ID358921 ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The Council may extend the Contract for a period of 5 x 5 years by providing the Contractor with notice in writing ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046727-2025 | | Notice type | UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Aug 2025 | | Submission deadline | 18 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | 18 Jun 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Aug 2025 - 19 Aug 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,569,759 | | Lots value | £3,569,759 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Cancelled | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DARLINGTON BOROUGH COUNCIL | | Additional buyers | Missing | | Locality | DARLINGTON | | Post town | Darlington | | Postcode | DL1 5QT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC3 Tees Valley | | ITL 3 | TLC33 Darlington | | Local authority | Darlington | | Electoral ward | Park East | | Westminster constituency | Darlington | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLC13 Darlington, TLD North West (England), TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 7 Aug 2025 at 08:18 - TenderCancellation - UK12 - Procurement Termination Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046727-2025 - 17 Jun 2025 at 14:05 - TenderUpdate - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033021-2025 - 17 Jun 2025 at 09:34 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032832-2025 - 13 Jun 2025 at 10:27 - PlanningUpdate - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032209-2025 - 12 Jun 2025 at 10:33 - Planning - UK1 - Pipeline Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031827-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/046727-2025 7th August 2025 - Procurement termination notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/033021-2025 17th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032832-2025 17th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/032209-2025 13th June 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/031827-2025 12th June 2025 - Pipeline notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.open-uk.org/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
