Summary of the contracting process

Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is overseeing the procurement for the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF), which is classified under children's holiday-camp services within the services category. The programme, funded by the Department for Education, aims to provide nutritious food and enriching activities for disadvantaged children in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Planning began in 2022 with a tender submission deadline on 27th May 2022. The procurement process employed was a selective procedure with negotiations, concluding in the award of contracts by 11th July 2023, each valued at approximately £3,000,000. The contract expands over a period with options for extension, enhancing service provision for the next quarterly stage.

This opportunity creates significant growth avenues for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) engaged in service provision for educational and leisure activities aimed at children. With a focus on forming collaborations with a wide network of partners, businesses specialising in holiday clubs, food service provision, and community enrichment initiatives will find the Barnsley HAF project particularly lucrative. The award incorporates a quality, social value, and pricing balance that ensures consistent engagement and delivery excellence, making it a reliable and rewarding opportunity for service-oriented SMEs within and around South Yorkshire.
