This initiative is part of the holiday activity and food programme funded by the Department for Education, aimed at supporting young people and families across Essex during the Easter, summer, and Christmas holidays. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with bids accepted until 25th February 2022. The location for this initiative is in England, particularly Essex and Thurrock, within the services industry, focusing on holiday centre and children's holiday-camp services. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing holiday camp services, healthy meal options, and youth engagement programmes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to compete, as they can deliver the inclusive and supportive activities that the Essex ActivAte programme seeks to promote. Engaging with this initiative can help such businesses expand their reach and impact while contributing to the well-being of local communities. ## Notice The Department for Education has provided Essex County Council with funding in order to deliver the holiday activity and food programme (HAF) across Essex during the 2022 Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays.
