Summary of the contracting process

Bedford Borough Council has successfully awarded a contract for the Holiday Activities and Food Programme 2026. The programme involves providing high-quality holiday activities and nutritious food across the Bedford Borough during the Easter, summer, and December school holidays, with a possibility of extending services to selected half-term holidays. The procurement process followed the open procedure under the light-touch regime and resulted in a multi-supplier Framework Agreement divided into three lots: Open Access Holiday Clubs, Bespoke Targeted and Non-Standard Provision, and SEND Specialist Provision. The framework will commence on 1st July 2026, for an initial two-year period with an option to extend by an additional 24 months in two 12-month periods. The award amount is £2,400,000, and it will remain open for new suppliers annually to ensure flexibility and adaptation to community needs.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in providing services related to holiday activities and food programmes. Local organisations such as Autism Bedfordshire, Barracudas Activity Day Camps, and Bedford Blues Foundation, among others, have been contracted, highlighting the Council's emphasis on engaging both small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and larger organisations. Businesses specialising in recreational services, particularly those that can provide bespoke and targeted solutions, can benefit from participating in this framework. Additionally, organisations focusing on children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) hold competitive advantages in securing contracts under Lot 3. This framework facilitates fostering local business growth and community welfare, encouraging increased competition and superior service delivery in the region.

Notice Title

Holiday Activities and Food Programme 2026

Notice Description

Bedford Borough Council ('The Authority') is seeking to commission a number of local organisations capable of delivering high-quality Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme services across the Bedford Borough during the Easter, summer and December school holidays (there may also be opportunities to deliver provision during selected half-term holidays, subject to review). A bespoke multi-Supplier Framework Agreement will be set up to that effect. The Framework Agreement will be structured across three Lots, reflecting different types of provision, including open access holiday clubs, bespoke targeted provision, and specialist SEND provision. They are as follows: Lot 1: Open Access Holiday Clubs Lot 2: Bespoke, Targeted and Non-Standard Provision Lot 3: SEND Specialist Provision It is anticipated that the Framework Agreement shall commence on 1st July 2026 for a period of two (2) years from the Commencement Date with an option to extend for an additional 24 months (in two 12-month-installments). The Authority intends to re-open the Framework Agreement on an annual basis (typically in March) to allow new Suppliers to apply. Existing Suppliers appointed to the Framework Agreement will not be required to reapply but will continue to be considered for delivery through the Delivery Proposal process. Suppliers appointed to the Framework Agreement will be invited to submit Delivery Proposals ahead of each holiday period (typically issued approximately two months in advance). The HAF programme is funded by the Department for Education. Allocation of provision, including sessions, places and associated funding, will be determined by the Authority based on demand, performance, geographical coverage and available funding.

        "description": "Bedford Borough Council ('The Authority') is seeking to commission a number of local organisations capable of delivering high-quality Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme services across the Bedford Borough during the Easter, summer and December school holidays (there may also be opportunities to deliver provision during selected half-term holidays, subject to review). A bespoke multi-Supplier Framework Agreement will be set up to that effect. The Framework Agreement will be structured across three Lots, reflecting different types of provision, including open access holiday clubs, bespoke targeted provision, and specialist SEND provision. They are as follows: Lot 1: Open Access Holiday Clubs Lot 2: Bespoke, Targeted and Non-Standard Provision Lot 3: SEND Specialist Provision It is anticipated that the Framework Agreement shall commence on 1st July 2026 for a period of two (2) years from the Commencement Date with an option to extend for an additional 24 months (in two 12-month-installments). The Authority intends to re-open the Framework Agreement on an annual basis (typically in March) to allow new Suppliers to apply. Existing Suppliers appointed to the Framework Agreement will not be required to reapply but will continue to be considered for delivery through the Delivery Proposal process. Suppliers appointed to the Framework Agreement will be invited to submit Delivery Proposals ahead of each holiday period (typically issued approximately two months in advance). The HAF programme is funded by the Department for Education. Allocation of provision, including sessions, places and associated funding, will be determined by the Authority based on demand, performance, geographical coverage and available funding.",
