## Summary

The Blackpool Council is seeking providers for the Provision of Holiday Activity and Food Programme, focusing on benefits-eligible free school meal children and vulnerable children aged 4-16. The procurement stage is complete, conducted through a Flexible Framework under the light touch tender regime. The Council aims to create a consortium of Providers meeting Department for Education and Council requirements for the programme. The contract is currently active, with a status of 'cancelled'.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses providing recreational, cultural, and sporting services aimed at children. Suitable businesses would be service providers catering to children's holiday-camp services. The buying organisation, Blackpool Council, operates as a regional or local authority, and the procurement method used was an open procedure under the light touch tender regime. Businesses should consider the potential for future re-openings of the opportunity in line with the procurement process.
