## Summary

Hartlepool Borough Council bought activity packs to support its Hartlepool Holiday Fun (HAF) programme during the Christmas periods of 2026 and 2027. The requirement is classified as goods, specifically educational equipment, and covers the provision of packs for children and young people taking part in holiday activities. Delivery is in Hartlepool, within the council’s area in the North East of England. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is presented as a single package rather than separate workstreams. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are suppliers, manufacturers, distributors or pack assemblers of educational, recreational or child-focused activity materials. The requirement is focused on supplying physical packs for a publicly funded holiday activity programme, rather than delivering the activities or managing the wider HAF service.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded directly without competition because it was below the applicable threshold. The award was made to The Wonder Company Group Ltd on 1 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £17,352 excluding VAT, or £20,822.40 including VAT. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The tender had one completed lot and one active award. The evaluation basis is therefore the council’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive assessment of multiple bids. The selected supplier is a UK small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract remains active and covers activity-pack provision for the council’s Christmas HAF delivery programme.

This procurement shows Hartlepool Borough Council has a recurring requirement for ready-to-use activity packs and educational equipment to support holiday provision for children and young people. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be able to design, assemble, source or distribute complete activity packs, with content suitable for structured holiday activities and appropriate for the intended age groups. Credible competitors would need dependable access to educational and recreational materials, practical fulfilment and packing capacity, and the ability to deliver consistently to Hartlepool. Experience supplying councils, schools, holiday programmes or comparable children’s services would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding-conscious public delivery, specification compliance and reliable distribution. The previous award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist supplier as well as a larger distributor.
