This tender falls under the Health and social work services category and aims to provide free holiday provision, including healthy food and activities, for children eligible for benefits-related free school meals. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract period starting on June 5, 2023, and ending on June 9, 2025. The tender deadline is April 11, 2023, and the delivery address is in London with postal code E16 2QU. This opportunity is suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. Businesses offering services for primary and secondary school-aged children, as well as specialist provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), would find this tender relevant. The Newham HAF tender presents a chance for businesses to contribute to improving the health and well-being of vulnerable children during school holidays, providing engaging activities and nutritional support to combat holiday hunger and social isolation. ## Notice The Department of Education (DfE) has confirmed that all Local Authorities in England will receive funding to co-ordinate a local Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) during Easter, summer and December school holidays of 2023-2024. The overall purpose of the grant is to enable the Council to coordinate and provide free holiday provision during the Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays for children that are eligible for benefits-related free school meals. HAF holiday provision includes healthy food, access to positive activities and nutritional advice and guidance. School holidays can be a particularly difficult time for some families because of reduced income or increased costs relating to food and childcare. For some children this can lead to holiday hunger and a holiday experience gap, with children from these families more likely to experience 'unhealthy holidays' in terms of nutrition and physical health. These children are also less likely to access organised out-of-school activities and more likely to experience social isolation. All of these issues can have a lasting effect on children and young people's health and wellbeing, and lead to lower levels of educational attainment. Additional information: Lot 1: Universal provision for primary school aged children This provision is for primary school aged children who are eligible for the service. These children will not have significant or complex special educational needs and / or disabilities, however, 12% of overall places must be available for children and young people who may need low-level SEND support. Lot 2: Universal provision for secondary school aged children This provision is for secondary school aged children and young people who are eligible for the service. These children will not have significant or complex special educational needs and / or disabilities, however, 12% of overall places must be available for children and young people who may need low- level SEND support. A programme in this category must be designed so that it is appealing to participants and can achieve high levels of engagement. It should look very different to a programme aimed at the primary age range. Factors that should be considered are times of sessions, type of venue, food offer and types of activities. Lot 3: Specialist provision for children with targeted or specialist special educational needs and / or disabilities (SEND) This provision is for children and young people with targeted or specialist SEND needs. In school, these children will get support which is extra to, or different from, the support given to most children in their class. Those with significant or more complex needs may also need specialist support, which may come not just from the school but from health and care services too. Due to the high level of need and support required, universal HAF provision will be unsuitable for children and young people with targeted or specialist SEND needs. Lot 3 providers will be required to demonstrate that they have appropriately trained staff, staff to child ratios, knowledge and experience to work with children with severe, profound and multiple SEND needs. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d93b22c7-62e5-4f89-9c27-a32237b9ac4a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Mar 2023 | | Submission deadline | 11 Apr 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Jun 2023 - 9 Jun 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £900,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON BOROUGH OF NEWHAM | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E16 2QU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI41 Hackney and Newham | | Local authority | Newham | | Electoral ward | Royal Albert | | Westminster constituency | West Ham and Beckton | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85000000 - Health and social work services ## Release History - 23 Mar 2023 at 16:44 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d93b22c7-62e5-4f89-9c27-a32237b9ac4a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d93b22c7-62e5-4f89-9c27-a32237b9ac4a 23rd March 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.newham.gov.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
