This open tender, identified as DFERPPU 20-21/030, was published on 1st February 2021, with a tender period ending on 15th February 2021. The expected contract duration spans from April 20, 2021, to October 28, 2021, with a possibility of extension until early 2022. The contract value has not been disclosed at this stage, but the awarded contract is valued at approximately £445,332.51, with award notices published on 15th June 2021. This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in research and consultancy services, particularly those experienced in evaluating education-related programmes. Companies focusing on impact assessment and analysis during holiday programmes would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. With the engagement of local authorities across the Easter, summer, and Christmas holidays, businesses that specialise in developing evaluative methodologies and delivering comprehensive reports will find this tender aligned with their capabilities for growth. ## Notice Expressions of interest are sought to undertake the design and delivery of research to evaluate the implementation and impact of the 2021 Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF), which will be rolled out in all local authority areas over the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays. The evaluation will predominantly consider the summer holiday scheme, however there may also be scope to consider the Christmas holiday scheme as well. The Department will use this research to understand if this approach to delivering HAF nationally meets programme aims as well as informing decisions on future delivery. Project design and set up will commence in Spring 2021. We expect the project and contract to last until Autumn 2021 with the possibility of an extension until early 2022.
