## Summary

The public procurement process is being conducted by Cheshire West and Chester for the tender titled "Short Breaks - Play offer." This initiative falls within the health and social work services category and is aimed at delivering play schemes over four weeks during the school holidays and an after-school service in four locations across the borough. The tender period ends on 3rd May 2017, while the contract is scheduled to commence on 1st July 2017 and conclude on 1st July 2019. Providers can bid to deliver one or more of the play services required in Chester and Rural, Northwich and Winsford, and Ellesmere Port and Neston.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in providing recreational and educational services for children. Businesses that have the capacity to deliver after-school and holiday play schemes would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as the council may award to multiple providers across the specified areas, ensuring a diverse offering for the community.

Providers are able to bid to deliver 1 , 2 , 3 or all 4 play services. The Council may award to one or more providers for this play offer. The total play lot must cover Chester and Rural , Northwich and Winsford and Ellesmere Port and Neston and there must be both an after school provision and a school holiday provision within each area. Each of the successful providers will be expected to deliver an after school provision as well as a school holiday playscheme within the same geographical area.
