## Summary

Darlington Borough Council commissioned residential care for adults and older people, including older people with mental health needs. The service is classified as health and social work services (CPV 85000000). Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific service location.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Darlington Borough Council used a direct award below the procurement threshold, without competition. HC-ONE NO.2 LIMITED was selected. The contract was signed on 6 May 2026 and runs from 6 May 2026 to 5 May 2032, with the Council able to extend it by four periods of 12 months, to a maximum end date of 5 May 2036. The contract value is £471,126 gross. The procurement was divided into one lot. No award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details.

For this buyer, the requirement demonstrates demand for residential care serving adults and older people, including older people with mental health needs. A credible future competitor would need to deliver residential care appropriate to these groups and to sustain provision over a multi-year contract, including any extensions. HC-ONE NO.2 LIMITED, the selected supplier, is a large provider, indicating that an established provider able to support this scale of service was successful. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so it offers no published competitive evaluation criteria from which to infer a particular accreditation, staffing model or technical threshold.
