## Summary

The "Public Health Northamptonshire Holiday and Food Activity Program" is an initiative led by North Northamptonshire Council aimed at enhancing the health and wellbeing of children during school holidays. The tender focuses on delivering health and social work services in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. It entered the award stage on 13th July 2021, with an active contract valued at £1,838,176. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, with the official tender period concluding on 4th June 2021. The contract is set to run from 6th July 2021 until 28th February 2022.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that excel in providing engaging, healthy activities for children and families. Companies with expertise in health and nutrition, youth engagement, or community service management would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the programme aims to tackle issues of social isolation and unhealthy lifestyles among children from disadvantaged backgrounds through innovative and accessible service offerings.

## Notice

School holidays can be particular pressure points for some families because of increased costs and reduced incomes. For some children especially children from disadvantaged families are: * less likely to access organised out-of-school activities * more likely to experience 'unhealthy holidays' in terms of nutrition and physical health * more likely to experience social isolation Free holiday clubs are a response to this issue and evidence suggests that they can have a positive impact on children and young people and that they work best when they: * provide consistent and easily accessible enrichment activities * cover more than just breakfast or lunch * involve children (and parents) in food preparation https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/holiday-activities-and-food-programme/holiday-activities-and-food-programme-2021 The purpose of this Procurement is to identify an appropriate provider to co-ordinate a range of service provision in line with the Department for Education (DfES) Holiday Activity Food (HAF) programme guidelines to maintain the health and wellbeing of children and young people in the school holidays in Northamptonshire. There is an expectation that the Provider, and Northamptonshire Public Health will work together to identify and agree positive outcome based interventions, based on the best research and evidence available. This service will support children and their families to: - * eat more healthily over the school holidays * be more active during the school holidays * take part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment * be safe and not to be socially isolated * have a greater knowledge of health and nutrition * be more engaged with school and other local services The aim of the service is to programme manage the Holiday Activity and Food provision for the Summer and Christmas school holiday period.
