This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for applications set for 11 April 2022. The estimated budget for the project is £1,190,000. The tender is classified under primary education services and will cater to school-aged children who receive benefits-related free school meals, as well as those identified by the local authority as needing support, with services to be delivered in London, specifically in the E16 2QU area. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in education, recreation, or social services, particularly those with experience in providing holiday programmes for children. Enterprises, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), are encouraged to apply, especially those capable of offering diverse activities and nutritious meals as part of their provision. The focus on inclusive programming across three designated lots allows for multiple providers to be awarded contracts, fostering collaboration and enabling a variety of services to benefit children with different needs throughout the borough. ## Notice The London Borough of Newham is issuing this notice to alert the market about the following tender opportunity. The procurement is being conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is subject to the light-touch regime under Section 7 Social and Other Specific Services. Under Regulation 76 the Council is free to establish a procedure, provided that procedure is sufficient to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of economic operators. We are inviting applications for funding from experienced and qualified organisations to provide free places at holiday clubs during the summer and Christmas school holidays in 2022. Providers can apply for summer and Christmas or only summer or only Christmas. This funding will be dispensed from the Holiday Activities and Food programme grant that has been allocated to LB Newham by the Department for Education. These holiday club places will provide children with at least one nutritious meal each day, as well as a range of physical, educational and enriching activities. This programme is targeted at school-aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals. A small number of free or subsidised holiday club places will be for children and young people who are not in receipt of benefits-related free school meals, but who the local authority believe would benefit from HAF provision. The maximum estimated budget available for this procurement is PS1,190,000 We are looking to award contracts to multiple providers to ensure there is a rich mix of provision that can cater for children of all ages, with different needs and interests, which is spread across the borough to make it easily accessible. The local authority also aims to use the DfE grant to provide the maximum number of places per day that will ensure there is sufficient provision in place for children and their families. The tender is divided into 3 lots as follows: Lot 1 - Primary age universal provision (including children with additional needs) Lot 2 - Secondary age universal provision (including children with additional needs) Lot 3 - Specialist SEND provision (children of all age groups with significant or complex needs) SEND Definitions Additional Needs Most children with SEN or disabilities will have their needs met in mainstream schools. These children will get support for their individual needs as part of everyday learning, which could be with the whole class or in groups. A SENCO might arrange support from people outside the school to help too. Significant Needs Some children have severe learning difficulties. These children will get support which is extra to, or different from, the support given to most of the children in their class. Complex A very small number of children have profound or multiple learning difficulties. These children need specialist support, which may come not just from the school but from health and care services too. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3b409a83-d3ce-4d56-af3a-09abb0fa5fba | | 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 | 15 Mar 2022 | | Submission deadline | 11 Apr 2022 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2022 - 1 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,190,000 | | 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 - 80 - Education and training services - 85 - Health and social work services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 80100000 - Primary education services - 80200000 - Secondary education services - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 92000000 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 15 Mar 2022 at 09:42 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3b409a83-d3ce-4d56-af3a-09abb0fa5fba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3b409a83-d3ce-4d56-af3a-09abb0fa5fba 15th March 2022 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
