Notice Title

Evaluation of the Holiday Activities and Food 2021 Scheme

Notice Description

Expressions of interest are sought to undertake the design and delivery of research to evaluate the implementation and impact of the 2021 Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF), which will be rolled out in all local authority areas over the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays. The evaluation will predominantly consider the summer holiday scheme, however there may also be scope to consider the Christmas holiday scheme as well. The Department will use this research to understand if this approach to delivering HAF nationally meets programme aims as well as informing decisions on future delivery. Project design and set up will commence in Spring 2021. We expect the project and contract to last until Autumn 2021 with the possibility of an extension until early 2022. Additional information: We will produce a short Q&A during the EOI, with responses to any questions asked. Questions will be anonymised and any commercially sensitive information removed. Should you wish to ask a question and/or receive a copy of this note, please email grace.ablett@education.gov.uk or christopher.gray@education.gov.uk Please Note: We have decided not to declare the expected Contract value at this stage.
