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.

- Public Contracts Regulations 2015
Additional details
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.
