Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has concluded the procurement process for the "Holiday Activity Fund" contract, aimed at supporting the design, coordination, and delivery of the Holiday Activities & Food Programme funded by the Department of Education. This initiative targets children eligible for free school meals, and the contract involves programme management tasks. Located in Northallerton, the project falls under the health and social work services category and spans across the UK region. The procurement method utilised was an open competition, classified as below threshold, which signifies a light-touch regime. The contract, signed on 25th February 2026, is active from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2029, with a total gross value of £630,000. The award stage of the procurement has been completed, with the supplier being North Yorkshire Sport Ltd, located in Harrogate, identified as a small-to-medium enterprise (SME) and a voluntary community and social enterprise (VCSE).

This tender represents significant business growth potential, particularly for organisations specialising in health, social work services, welfare, recreational, and educational activities for children. Given the open competition model, SMEs and VCSEs, especially those capable of delivering high-quality programme management arrangements in North Yorkshire, are well-suited to compete. Businesses that prioritise delivery, planning, quality standards, collaboration, budgeting, and social value are highly favourable for securing such contracts. Engaging in such projects allows businesses to expand their service offerings, enhance regional presence, and foster positive community impacts while aligning with public sector goals and requirements.
