Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is being undertaken by Hartlepool Borough Council for the title "Extended Activities, 11 Week Play Scheme & Toy Loan Provision." This project falls under the health and social work services category and is aimed at providing recreational and developmental activities for children aged 3 to 18 within Hartlepool, North East England. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a significant engagement deadline set for 10th December 2021. Interested parties must register their intention to tender via the Council's e-tendering portal before this deadline, while the contract commencement date is planned for 1st April 2022.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in childcare, recreational services, or related fields. Those capable of offering extended activity sessions, holiday play schemes, and a toy loan service should consider participating, as the provision must meet specific qualifications, including staff credentials in Playwork or Childhood Studies. With the emphasis on delivering inclusive services for disabled children and their caregivers, businesses that align with the council’s social objectives will have a competitive edge.
