## Summary

The procurement process involves Knowsley Council, which is seeking coordination assistance for the Department for Education's Holiday Activities and Food Programme from 2022 to 2025. This programme, aimed at providing free holiday activities and healthy food for disadvantaged children in Knowsley, has a total budget of £270,000 and falls under the "Food, beverages, tobacco and related products" category. The procurement method employed is a direct award, and while the contract started on 1 April 2022, it is set to conclude on 31 March 2024. The tender process was officially concluded on 26 November 2021, marking the end of the tender period.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in providing services related to food and youth activities, particularly those that are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or community-facing organisations. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in delivering holiday programmes and engaging with children are encouraged to participate in future tenders of a similar nature. The programme's focus on supporting disadvantaged children also aligns well with organisations involved in social value initiatives and community services.

## Notice

Knowsley Council (the Council) has been allocated a grant by the Department for Education to co-ordinate the delivery of free holiday activities and healthy food for disadvantaged children during the period of 2022 - 2025. The free places are for children in Knowsley who are eligible for and receive benefits-related free school meals currently (8,007 pupils). The duration of the places is for the equivalent of at least four hours a day, four days a week and for six weeks a year. This is to cover four weeks in the summer and a week's worth of provision in each of the Easter and Christmas holidays.
