This public procurement opportunity, classified under "Other community, social and personal services," aims to enlist experienced providers for the Winter 2025 period. The procurement is in the tender stage with an open procedure, and submissions must be made electronically by 12:00 PM on 19th September 2025. The contract activity will commence on 3rd November 2025 in the UKF3 region. The goal of this initiative is to deliver free holiday provision, encompassing healthy meals and engaging activities, to benefit school-aged children and young people eligible for benefits-related Free School Meals during winter holidays. This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialised in organising sports and leisure activities or after-school care services. Companies with prior experience in holiday provisions or engagement activities for the youth sector, particularly those servicing secondary-aged children, are ideal candidates. Furthermore, the need for inclusive sessions for those with special educational needs and disabilities provides additional opportunities for growth among companies with expertise in these areas. Businesses looking to collaborate with a regional authority like Lincolnshire County Council will find this procurement a promising avenue to expand their service offerings and client base. ## Notice Lincolnshire County Council are seeking to invite interested parties to apply to join the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) Open Select List (OSL) from Winter 2025.
