This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on holiday centre services (CPV: 55241000). The open tender process is active, with proposals due by 19th November 2021. The contract period is set to commence on 18th December 2021 and run until 21st July 2022, with activities to take place in Bedford, England (postal code: MK42 9AP). This tender represents an excellent opportunity for organisations skilled in offering face-to-face engaging activities and healthy meals for children during school holidays. Businesses experienced in delivering structured programmes for young people, particularly those that can expand existing services, will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, bespoke proposals that meet the specified criteria are also encouraged, making this tender accessible to a diverse range of service providers aiming to contribute to community welfare and children's development. ## Notice Bedford Borough Council ('the Council') has received government funding to deliver childcare and support provision for children and young people in the Borough who are aged 5-17, are a resident of Bedford Borough and who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSMs). The Council wishes to commission a number of local organisations to join an Approved Provider List (APL), which will deliver a programme of face-to-face activities and healthy meals for vulnerable children over any school holidays. Suppliers wishing to be accepted onto the APL should be experienced in delivering face-to-face, fun, enriching activities to children and young people. It would be helpful for Suppliers to have existing provision in place that can be expanded upon to deliver against the outcomes specified (Lot 1), but the Council will consider proposals of bespoke schemes if these meet the required criteria (Lot 2).
