    "description": "The London Borough of Enfield (the \u0027contracting authority\u0027) intends to directly award 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. \nThe 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 intention to award a block contract has been identified as a viable solution, offering greater placement stability, improved outcomes for young people, and better value for money.\nThis procurement process is conducted in line with the Act and classified as a Light Touch Contract in accordance with Section 9 of the Act and Schedule 1 of the Regulations.\nThe proposed Contract would be let for an initial term of two (2) years with an optional 12 month extension. Note, that the estimated total contract value in this Notice includes the 12 month optional extension.",
