## Summary

Hampshire County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Holiday Activities and Food Schemes 2025 Easter Provision" under the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (CS19177). This initiative aims to provide healthy free holiday activities for children eligible for free school meals during the Easter period from 5th April 2025 to 21st April 2025. The procurement was conducted through a mini competition that resulted in direct awards to address service gaps in eight locations within the South East region of the United Kingdom. These contracts were awarded on 17th March 2025 with a total value of £27,810 GBP, and the procurement method employed was a single-tender action below the threshold, signifying a direct award approach.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the social work and related services sector. Businesses providing educational and recreational activities are well-suited to compete for similar future contracts, particularly those offering innovative and engaging programmes for children. The awarded suppliers, including Gateway Central Services Limited, Gol Elite Coaching Limited, Calshot Activity Centre, Educamps Ltd, New Milton Town Council, and Integr8 Dance Limited, demonstrate the diverse range of SMEs contributing to such public service provisions. Business growth can be achieved through participation in these tenders that support community needs and offer vital services during school holidays.
