Young Persons Supported Living / Accommodation Pathway Service
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The London Borough of Enfield has completed the procurement process for the provision of a Young Persons Supported Living / Accommodation Pathway Service, targeted specifically at vulnerable young people aged 18-24 in Enfield. This contract, classified under CPV code 85000000 for health and social work services, is a strategic move to ensure continued support for local residents in the UK region, specifically UKI54. The procurement stage reached is the Award, with the contracting authority choosing a direct award without prior publication.
This decision was made to protect exclusive rights and maintain service continuity. The contract, awarded to Christian Action (Enfield) Housing Association Ltd, was signed on 1st May 2025 and is valued at £3,455,949, with a term of three years and an option to extend up to a total of five years. This tender offers significant business growth opportunities particularly for organisations in the health and social services sector with capabilities in supported accommodation for young people.
Businesses with innovative solutions aiding education, employment, and life skills development can benefit from collaborating with the London Borough of Enfield. The strategic importance, highlighted by the absence of a competitive bidding process, positions Christian Action (Enfield) Housing Association Ltd as the sole provider due to its exclusive ownership of purpose-built properties. Companies looking to expand or strengthen their position in the local authority market or those who can align with the service needs of vulnerable populations could find partnership benefits in projects similar to this contract.
***Note, this is a Contract Award Notice further to the publication of a previous voluntary ex ante transparency notice (VEAT), notice reference: 2024/S 000-040833 (as referred to below in this award notice)*** Contract award for the provision of an accommodation-based support service exclusively for vulnerable Enfield Young People of 18-24 years old. The service provides various levels of support depending on the Young Person's needs. Supporting them into Education, Employment or Training and providing life skills for them to enable the Young Person to move on into an independent lifestyle.
In the current pathway, all of the remaining properties are owned by the existing provider (Christian Action (Enfield) Housing Association Ltd) apart from one other location. Furthermore, the provider does not want to dispose of or sublet their properties to another supported living provider. Some of the units have covenants upon them which means they can only be occupied by individuals requiring on-site support.
The pathway utilises the best units currently available to the provider. By having schemes of 14+ units, it maximises support resources available. The proposed pathway under the proposed and awarded contract will yield savings against the current contract.
To ensure that the contracting authority continue to benefit from the accommodation, a direct award for a newly remodelled contract has been put in place as there is no reasonable alternative or substitute that exists to deliver the volume, quality and suitability of schemes within Enfield, in the current accommodation marketplace; even after reducing the number of units in the pathway. The awarded contract is for an initial term of three (3) years with an option to extend for a further period of two (2 years), thus giving a total contract length of up to five (5) years. As previously noted (in the VEAT Notice), the service advertised in this notice falls under the services listed in Chapter 3 and Schedule 3 (Social and other specific services) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
