The engagement period ends on 18 March 2022, and this initiative aims to ensure compliance with Department of Education and council requirements. The process will be conducted via an open tender method, with two lots available for potential bidders: Lot 1 for Overall Programme Management Partner and Lot 2 for Programme Management of Food and Standards. Interested providers can register their interest through the In-tend e-portal. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialising in management consultancy and food services, to expand their market presence and engage in public sector contracts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations are encouraged to participate, especially those capable of demonstrating efficient management practices and value for money. Given the potential for contract extensions based on performance, this could allow successful bidders to build substantial long-term relationships with Birmingham City Council while providing valuable services to the community. ## Notice Birmingham City Council has published a prior information notice for a programme manager to provide overall management service for Holiday Activity and Food Provision during Scholl Holidays in Birmingham.
