## Summary

Torbay Council has successfully moved forward with the award stage of the procurement process for the CSC25030 Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) 2025. This initiative, funded by the Department for Education, aims to provide both activities and meals to children eligible for Free School Meals during school holidays. The procurement focused on service delivery across Torquay, Paignton, and Brixham with special provisions for teenagers and children with complex Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The contracts, awarded on 14th July 2025, will be active from 28th July 2025 to 28th January 2026, inviting an open procurement method targeting light-touch services in the UKK42 region, with the projects entailing service enhancements in children’s holiday camps and associated social work services.

The successful engagement in this tender provides significant opportunities for businesses already involved in social services, educational support, or being able to offer specially targeted programs for vulnerable youth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) like Pro-Coaching Education Limited and Play Torbay, alongside large VCSEs like Turning Heads-Changing Perceptions and Lives CIC, have secured contracts, exemplifying the range of business types that can thrive in such tenders. Opportunities exist to join future procurements in similar frameworks which not only align with corporate social responsibility goals but also tap into steady funding avenues and community welfare initiatives. Thus, businesses specializing in educational programs, social welfare activities, or community engagement, particularly those familiar with the procurement criteria of local government bodies, stand to benefit greatly from engaging in such public contracts.
