## Summary

Warrington Borough Council is initiating a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the Holiday Activity Fund, aiming to collaborate with providers offering a range of activities and nutritional education for children. The procurement process is currently active and falls under the services category, specifically focusing on education and training services.

The total value of the contract is £2,500,000, and the procurement method is classified as a restricted procedure.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in recreational activities, educational services, and food provision targeted at children.
