## Summary

The London Borough of Enfield has awarded a contract to Holibrook House Limited to provide five residential care placements for Therapeutic Residential Services for Children with Complex Needs. The procurement process, initiated as a tender, concluded with a direct award under the Light Touch regime as specified in the Procurement Act 2023, citing exclusive rights and the lack of reasonable alternatives. The service is classified under health and social work, and the contract's initial term spans two years beginning from 1st June 2026, with an optional extension of 12 months. Located in Enfield, the buyer has experienced considerable challenges in securing stable placements due to rising demand and limited availability, making this arrangement advantageous for predictable costs and improved outcomes for the children served.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in therapeutic residential services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises capable of delivering high-quality care under block arrangements. Holibrook House Limited, a supplier based in London with expertise in providing therapeutic residential placements, secured the contract by aligning closely with the buyer's requirements and offering a stable service through an Ofsted-registered platform. The direct procurement approach underscores the significance of strong intellectual property and exclusive rights within the care sector, promising stability and consistent demand for suppliers adept at accommodating intricate care needs efficiently. Businesses with similar capabilities might explore developing unique service offerings that address niche demands in the therapeutic and health services landscape.

## Notice

Following the publications of a Transparency Notice on 2 December 2025 (Notice identifier:2025/S 000-078738) and Contract Award Notice on 8 January 2026 (Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-001455), the London Borough of Enfield ('contracting authority') has awarded 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. This procurement was 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 is for an initial term of two (2) years, with an optional 12-month extension. This is subject to supplier performance, funding and at the full discretion of the contracting authority. Note, the estimated contract total value stated within this Contract Details Notice is based on the initial term of the Contract plus the optional 12-month extension.
