The requirement is very closely aligned to the existing Early Childhood and Family Service and therefore to introduce another provider would result in extra cost. The infrastructure is already in place with the current provider and to introduce another provider would result in duplication especially as mobilisation will be short. Another provider would also result in a fragmented offer to families and run the risk of reducing required outcomes."
