Following the termination of one of the Enablement contracts for service in October the Council needs to award a new Enablement contract. Following an options appraisal it was agreed that the best option was to award the new contract to Your Choice Barnet, part of the Barnet Group.

The enablement contract is to commence in November 2016 with an initial term of one year with the option to extend on one or more occasions for up to a maximum of four further years.

The provision of the Enablement service is part of a preventative and early intervention service that promotes independence, reduces dependency and reduces or delays the need for longer term care and support. Enablement homecare provides intensive time limited care to adults with assessed needs to help them gain or regain a higher level of independence and improved quality of life
