## Summary

The Bedford Borough Council has initiated the "Holiday Activities & Food Programme 2021" under an open procurement method, inviting local organisations to provide face-to-face activities and healthy meals for children aged 5-17 in the Borough. This procurement process is currently in the Award stage, following its tender period which concluded on 8th June 2021. The awarded contract, valued at £370,475, spans from 22nd July 2021 to 21st July 2022, and the activities will be focused in the East of England, specifically within Bedford Borough.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses, specifically those involved in children's activities, nutrition services, and community support initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) will find themselves well-suited to compete, benefiting from government funding aimed at enhancing summer and holiday provisions for vulnerable children. Companies that can deliver engaging and healthy activity programmes during the school holidays are particularly encouraged to participate.
