## Summary

Blackpool Council initiated a tender process for the "Provision of Holiday Activity and Food Programme," targeted at providing services during school holidays for children aged 4-16 eligible for benefits-free school meals and other vulnerable children. This tender falls under the recreational, cultural, and sporting services category (CPV code 92000000) and it employs an open procedure procurement method. The contract awarded will run from 19th July 2023 to 31st August 2024, with the option to extend by one additional year. The procurement stage is active, with the tender submission deadline set for 19th May 2023, at 10:30 AM. The services will be provided within the Blackpool region (UKD42).

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in children's recreational and food services to expand their market presence by joining a longer-term framework agreement with Blackpool Council. Suitable candidates would likely include SMEs and larger enterprises capable of delivering high-quality services tailored to the specified demographic. The evaluation criteria heavily emphasize service quality (80%) and social value (20%), making it an attractive proposition for companies prioritising these aspects. The framework's potential renewal options also provide a pathway for sustained engagement and growth in the public sector service domain.
