Summary of the contracting process

South Staffordshire District Council has successfully awarded a contract for the provision of a school holiday programme to ASPIRE ACTIVE EDUCATION GROUP LIMITED, following an open procurement process. This initiative, spanning from February 2026 to December 2027, aims to deliver enriching holiday activities across four leisure centres in Codsall, United Kingdom, under the category of children's holiday-camp services. The programme will primarily utilise dry side facilities with occasional access to swimming pools, adhering to prescribed safety ratios and requirements. The initial procurement stage commenced with tender documents available via the Staffordshire County Council's Proactis e-tendering system, highlighting its open competition below threshold method. The contract, which can be extended at the authority's discretion, was signed in February 2026 with a gross value of £180,000. The tender, previously managed by Staffordshire County Council, emphasised opportunities for Ofsted registered providers to extend their reach in providing innovative enrichment programmes during various school holidays.

This contract presents valuable opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UK, particularly those specialising in educational and recreational services for children. By tapping into untapped facilities, businesses can broaden their service offerings and establish themselves as key players in the educational activity sector. Organisations with expertise in offering structured enrichment activities, involving sport, skill development, and physical activities, and registered with Ofsted, can strategically position themselves to take advantage of these public sector contracts. As part of its commitment to innovation and community enhancement, SSDC's programmes offer a platform for growth and advancement, enabling businesses to leverage public sector partnerships to expand their operational footprint locally and contribute to the development of young people's skillsets.
