Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council is initiating the tender process for the "Holiday Activities and Food Programme 22-25," aimed at providing activities and healthy meals for vulnerable children aged 5-17 in the Borough. This programme will run from 21 June 2022 to 31 July 2025, utilising £1,500,000 in government funding. The current procurement stage is 'Tender,' with a deadline for submissions set for 22 April 2022. The programme classification falls under holiday centre services, and it involves a selective procurement method with a preference for local, experienced suppliers who can deliver engaging and enriching activities.

The Holiday Activities and Food Programme presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in children's services, particularly those experienced in providing face-to-face activities and healthy meal options. Both Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, making this a lucrative opportunity for those in the education, leisure, and food sectors. Successfully joining this procurement could enhance the capacity of businesses to meet community needs and expand their service offerings over the contract period.

Notice Title

Holiday Activities and Food Programme 22-25

Notice Description

Bedford Borough Council ('the Council') has received government funding to deliver the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) for children and young people in the Borough who are aged 5-17, are a resident of Bedford Borough and who are eligible for Income Related Free School Meals (FSM). The HAF programme will also be accessible for Looked after Children (LAC) and children of families that have no recourse to public funding within Bedford Borough. The Council wishes to commission interested local organisations to join a Pseudo Dynamic Purchasing System (ps-DPS) which will aim to deliver a programme of face-to-face activities and healthy meals for vulnerable children during school holidays over the next three (3) years between 21/06/2022 - 31/07/2025. Suppliers wishing to be accepted onto the ps-DPS should be experienced in delivering face-to-face, fun, enriching activities to children and young people. It would be helpful for Suppliers to have existing provision in place that can be expanded upon to deliver against the outcomes specified (Lot 1), but the Council will consider proposals of bespoke schemes if these meet the required HAF Programme requirements (Lot 2).
