Description
Following the publication of a Transparency Notice on 2 December 2025, Notice identifier: 2025/S 000-078738, the London Borough of Enfield ('contracting authority') is awarding a Contract to Holibrook House Limited for the provision of five (5) residential care placements for Therapeutic Residential Services for Children with Complex Needs under a block arrangement commencing January 2026. This procurement is conducted in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 and is classified as a Light Touch Contract in accordance with Section 9 of the Act and Schedule 1 of the Regulations.
The contracting authority is experiencing significant challenges in securing appropriate residential placements for children with complex needs. These challenges are driven by a combination of national placement insufficiency and rising demand, resulting in limited availability and escalating costs. In response to these pressures, the contracting authority has actively sought more sustainable commissioning solutions to secure dedicated, high quality provision at predictable costs. Therefore, this contract award for a block contract has been identified as a viable solution, offering greater placement stability, improved outcomes for young people, and better value for money.
The Contract will be let for an initial term of two (2) years with an optional 12-month extension, subject to supplier performance, funding and at the full discretion of the contracting authority.
Note, the estimated contract total value stated within this contract award notice is based on the initial term of the Contract plus the optional 12-month extension.
Accordingly, the contracting authority is incorporating a standstill period for eight (8) working days, commencing the day on which this contract award notice has been published.
