Emergency accommodation is used to provide temporary housing for single people, couples and families who require accommodation at short notice. While placements are typically short-term in nature, there will be occasions where accommodation is required for longer periods depending on individual circumstances and housing need. Through our Emergency Accommodation Framework, we are introducing a single, central accommodation framework through which all nightly paid, emergency accommodation provision will operate. This represents a significant change to the way accommodation services are commissioned and will have a direct impact on all current providers of emergency accommodation. Providers who wish to continue delivering emergency accommodation services to Bradford Council should engage with this process and register their interest ahead of the formal procurement launch. The event will: • Outline the proposed framework and operating model. • Explain what these changes mean for accommodation providers. • Provide an opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification. • Set out how providers can register their interest and participate in the forthcoming procurement process. We are also keen to engage with new providers to the market. If you operate a hotel, bed and breakfast (B&B), serviced apartment, guest house or other suitable accommodation, we encourage you to attend and find out more about the opportunity available. Event Details Date: Monday 9th November Time: 13:00pm – 14.30pm Location: Microsoft Teams For details on how to receive an invitation link to this meeting, please register your interest on the YORtender (eu-supply) portal by searching Market Engagement for an Emergency Accommodation Framework, reference 100114719.

Nottingham City Council is seeking Tenders from sufficiently experienced and qualified providers to establish a multi-Lot, multi-Supplier Open Framework of Homelessness Prevention Services (more commonly referred to as the Commissioned Homelessness Prevention System), consisting of two Lots: Lot 1 - Accommodation Based Services (ABS), which provide accommodation, housing management and housing-related support. Lot 2 - Community Based Services (CBS), which provide housing-related advice, outreach, prevention, resettlement or sustainment support outside a provider-owned accommodation setting.

This Framework may also be used by other Authority departments including but not limited to Children, Adults and Public Health. The Authority is seeking to put in place an Open Framework to establish the initial Framework and appoint one or more Framework Members in each Lot to deliver services. This Procurement is intended to set up a list of approved Framework Members for each Lot. There is no limit to the number of Suppliers who can be Framework Members in each Lot. Call-off Award Procedures will then be conducted, and Call-off contracts will then be awarded. This Procurement is a replacement for services previously tendered 'CPU3880 and CPU7231 - Framework for Community Based Support and Accommodation Based Services for homeless people (and those at risk of homelessness)'. It is important for Suppliers to note that if they are on the above Frameworks and wish to participate in future contract opportunities for this service, they will need to submit a response to this Procurement. This is a light touch special regime Framework as per Sections 8 and 9 of the Procurement Act 2023. The process to be used will be the Competitive Flexible Procedure as per Section 20 of the Procurement Act 2023. Where a Supplier fails the any stage as described below, their Tender will not be assessed any further: • Stage One - Initial Review of Tender Submission • Stage Two - Procurement Specific Questionnaire Pass/Fail • Stage Three - Quality Questions 1 and 2 Pass/Fail • Stage Four - Quality Questions 3 to 6 Assessment Scored Pass/Fail • Stage Five - Any required Final Qualification Check. Re-Opening The Open Framework Mechanism allows the Authority to 're-open' the Framework to new Framework Members, while allow existing Framework members to also remain as Framework Members. The Authority reserves the right to re-open the Framework to new potential Framework Members when it deems it is required to ensure: • Procurement legislation is complied with. • Capacity requirements can be met. • To ensure adequate competition in the Call-off Award Procedure. • To meet needs that are not satisfied by current Framework Members. • Other reasons deemed reasonable by the Authority. The Authority will post a Tender Notice on Find Tender Service/CDP when it re-opens the Framework for new Tender submissions. As this Procurement is for a 'Light Touch Contract', the process and award of Call-off contracts may include some flexibilities permitted by the Special Regime of the Procurement Act (2023). Suppliers will be required to behave lawfully and ethically in sourcing Accommodation and in a manner that does not create additional Homelessness. The Authority reserves the right not to contract or proceed with Orders with any Suppliers where it is discovered this is not the case and the Authority reserves the right to no longer work with the Supplier in the future. Consideration of SME's SME's have been considered in the following ways: • Advanced notice promoted via Pipeline Notice and PME notices. • Reduced number of Lots so reduced Tendering requirements. • Clear requirements for Conditions of Participation to make it clear the type of experience and capability required. • Longer than required Tender submission time provided. • No insurance required at Framework stage. • Low liability cap amounts. • Framework can be re-opened for new Suppliers Framework Term The first framework for a term of up to three years anticipated to start from 8 January 2027 to 31 December 2029 and a second framework for a term of up to a further five years from 1 January 2030 to 31 December 2034, subject to change depending on initial tendering length and termination clauses. The actual Framework dates and number of Frameworks are indicative only, but the total Term is of all Frameworks added together is a maximum of eight years. In the unlikely event that only one supplier is appointed to any individual Framework in the scheme of Frameworks during the open Framework Period then the maximum term for the Framework, and the open Framework, will be 4 years from the date on which the single supplier Framework is awarded. PME Pre-Market was undertaken. A PME Pack is included in the Procurement Documents. The summary of the conclusion of the PME is: • The reduction of Lots to make tendering easier. • A framework mechanism to allow new Suppliers enter the framework. • Split call-offs into smaller contracts where possible. • Case study type tender questions Tender Modifications The Authority reserves the right to: • Refine the Conditions of Participation Criteria • Refine/modify the Procurement process and/or terms • Refine the Award Criteria • 'Roll' the Procurement to an appropriate previous stage Clarifications All questions/clarifications must be submitted via the Portal (more details below). Do not expect emails/calls to be responded to. All Suppliers should access the 'Messages' section of the Portal on a regular basis to check for any clarifications issued on this project and/or any public exchange of information between interested parties, before final submission of their bid. It is the sole responsibility of Suppliers to do so. LGR Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is the process in which the structure and responsibilities of local authorities are reconfigured. The Government has set out plans to move away from the current two-tier system of county and district councils which are in place in some parts of county of Nottinghamshire and other parts of England. The Authority has now received the Government's proposed decision regarding LGR in Nottinghamshire. However, there has been a pause in the LGR process so that Central Government can conduct a review. Due to the review there is some uncertainty over the exact timing of when (or if) any new structure will be implemented. The latest information is that the Authority will remain in their current format until at least April 2028. It is considered the period of Agreements and Call-off Contracts under this Procurement is likely to be impacted by LGR, should this process be resumed. The current intention is that this Agreement / Call-off Contract would continue following any new structure implemented. As a consequence of LGR, any resulting Agreement or Call Off Contract may be required to be transferred, assigned or novated (in whole or in part) to one or more successor authorities or other public bodies established as part of LGR, in accordance with applicable legislation. Suppliers acknowledge and accept that the Authority must comply with all statutory, regulatory and other legal requirements arising in connection with LGR and, to the extent necessary to do so, reserves the right to make such amendments to the procurement arrangements and/or any resulting Contract, Framework Agreement or Call Off Contract as are required or permitted by law. Suppliers must submit their Tender on the basis that such transfer, assignment, novation or amendment may occur and that no additional charges, price adjustments or termination rights shall arise solely as a result of LGR. Any reasonable steps taken by the Authority or a successor authority to notify Suppliers of matters arising from LGR shall be sufficient for the purposes of this procurement.

The system should be able to manage both catering and retail operations as well as having the capability to offer additional functionality detailed in the specification below, to help facilities manage their daily financial transactions with a key driver being to reduce costs, drive sales and deliver better customer service. The EPOS system will be installed in cafés and restaurants within leisure-based facilities such as leisure centres, country parks, small hotel, museums, art venues and theatres. The system will be expected to help facilitate the daily operation of such venues to varying degrees, the capability to tailor the system set up based on a venues requirement will be an important factor (i.e. some facilities will only require an EPOS to run F&B and retail sales, where another may need to be able to facilitate F&B, Retail, Ticketing and Membership capability etc.). The ability to manage facility admissions, retail sales, daily stock management and provide comprehensive real time back-office management data are just some of the key functionalities expected of the system. ocds-h6vhtk-06f5f1 Wed, 09 Sep 2026 16:00:51 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f4a9 Romero Catholic Trust - The Trust are seeking to establish a Catering Services Framework Agreement for the provision of catering services across its schools Details can be found: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/respond/U4FNTK4833.

Currently the site consists of the Boat House Café, toilets, car park, lake, play and picnic areas, an events field along with large areas of open space. There are two tenanted areas used for flying model aircraft and miniature gauge railway. A shared access road provides both for the coastal park and also the adjacent Sea Cadet Corps. As well as being an active leisure site, the coastal park also has extensive wildlife and biodiversity habitats and these remain important to both protect and potentially utilise as a resource. The Council provided a new toilet block, including showers and ancillary facilities, in 2023. These are available for the benefit of visitors to Bartons Point. The existing drainage provision is via a cesspool. The Council is seeking expressions of interest (EOI) for two opportunities at Barton’s Point Coastal Park. The Council is open to EOI’s for each of Lots 1 and 2, individually or consolidated proposals which seek to meet both requirements. For both opportunities, the Council is seeking experienced operators that can demonstrate not only the financial viability of any proposals but also how social value will be delivered. Proposals also need to be sympathetic to the ecology of the site, with consideration for the environment and wildlife and the adjacent Queenborough Lines waterway, which is a scheduled ancient monument. Whilst acknowledging there is a seasonality to the types and level of activity on the site, the Council is keen to encourage activity throughout the year and this will be reflected in how proposals are considered. As the site has multiple users, with other leased areas, it is also important that proposals can work alongside or with these. It is anticipated that the Council will continue to provide basic grounds maintenance services to the whole site. The playground and bridge also remain the council’s responsibility. Operators on site will be responsible for general site maintenance relating to their activity, such as litter generated from their operations, signage for activities etc. Lot 1: The Old Boathouse Café The old boathouse is a block frame, timber clad building with corrugated roof of the shore of the lake with a self-contained patio area (please see map 1 below). The property provides a good opportunity for a provider to deliver a food & beverage provision for the coastal park and a lease will be offered to the preferred bidder, when identified. The Council is keen that bidders should demonstrate strong community values in how the Café offer operates. We ask that EOI’s show how the proposed operation contributes positively to how the site delivers social value; for instance by facilitating programmes, events, and activities that strengthen local connections and promote inclusive use of the Coastal Park. The building has benefited from some refurbishment in recent years but is of basic construction. It is the intention that the terms of occupation will require the successful bidder to maintain the building and undertake improvements required, subject to the Councils consent. The internal part of the building will be cleared of all existing equipment and fittings ahead of occupation. Bidders are therefore advised to inspect the building and carefully consider the cost of providing catering equipment and any necessary works before submitting in their EOI. Lot 2: Outdoor Learning The Council invites proposals which bring structured inclusive outdoor learning opportunities to Bartons Point. This may involve collaboration with local organisations, schools and community partners to create meaningful learning opportunities that support wellbeing, environmental awareness, and lifelong learning. These could be operated from the Lot 1 café building if agreement is reached or from temporary structures within the park supplied by the chosen provider, to be agreed with the Council. The Council is open-minded as to the nature of proposed activity and any provider will be able to work with the Council’s Greenspaces Ranger, to facilitate activity. There is an area of grass alongside the lake which is suitable for camping during the summer season and use and management of the lake which may be of interest to Bidders, but individual operators would need to satisfy themselves that proposals would be compliant with all regulatory requirements, including planning and any H&S regulations. Please submit your EOI by 12pm on Monday 5th October 2026 to jayjenkins@swale.gov.uk. Please include the following information: •Terms of occupation being sought (the Council will be seeking a minimum of 3 years) •Annual rent being offered to SBC •A basic Business Plan that demonstrates that the proposal is viable and sustainable for the duration of operation. Your proposal should include details of the operation including the following: Evidence of previous experience/operations of a similar nature Detail of the activity and/or food and beverage offer to be provided Proposed operating dates and times If intention to make use of the lake then an operation management plan Any marketing proposals Details of any other events or activities proposed to increase community engagement and visitor numbers Some detail as to how social value will be secured from the operation and what benefits you expect to be delivered. Financial projections demonstrating a strong viability, showing profit & loss forecasts and any surplus in addition to a cash-flow for at least 3 years, Details of how any planned repairs and improvements will be funded (e.g., grant funding, personal savings, temporary rent concession, etc). Two business references Supporting Documents Plan 1: A historic site plan, showing the extent of the site. This reflects both current and historic uses, with the pitch and putt and camping area. Plan 2: Plan showing the location of the Old Boat House Café and enclosed patio. A copy of the Environmental Report produced for Bartons Point is available on request Please email graemetuff@swale.gov.uk or jayjenkins@swale.gov.uk for any further information or to arrange to view the premises. ocds-h6vhtk-06f0fb Thu, 03 Sep 2026 10:21:28 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06f0de West Yorkshire Combined Authority - West Yorkshire Police have a contract in place for the delivery of a café-style catering service at West Yorkshire Police's Learning & Organisational Development centre, which is located at Carr Gate, Wakefield, WF2 0QD.

The restaurant in Southsea Castle is open all year round, and the Castle hosts numerous events throughout the season, in particular weddings & corporate events, as well as community events. During the opening season, there are also local makers market's hosted in the marquee, as well as heritage tours and talks hosted by the museums team. All events hosted by the museums team are aimed at engaging with the local community and increasing the visitor experience at Southsea Castle The Castle courtyard, keep, ramparts and museum rooms are open to the public from 10am - 5pm, Tues - Sunday's and bank holidays, from April - October, and are closed over the winter period. The restaurant is open all year round, currently from 9.30am - 5pm every day in the summer season, and Wed-Sun 9.30am - 5pm in the winter season. Permitted Uses, Opening Times & Access The permitted use of Southsea Castle comprises a combination of public-facing restaurant operations and a programme of private and operator-led events, with defined parameters around access, capacity and shared use. The restaurant and café, located within the western side of the castle courtyard, provide approximately 60 internal covers and up to 54 external covers (subject to layout). The space can also accommodate private events of up to 60 seated or 80 standing guests. The operator is required to provide a daily service as a minimum between 9:30am and 5:00pm, with flexibility for evening trading and private hire where this does not conflict with Council-managed bookings. Private events are delivered across a range of spaces. The marquee is the primary large-scale event space, with a capacity of up to 120 seated or 200 standing guests, and is managed by the Council. This space is used for weddings and corporate functions but may also be utilised by the operator as part of their own event programme, including catering and bar provision. The castle keep is also used for ceremonies and smaller events but remains under Council control and is not available for operator-led events. Additional areas, including the castle ramparts and an ancillary bar or function room, may be used to support events where appropriate and subject to approval. These spaces provide flexibility to enhance the visitor and event experience whilst ensuring compliance with health and safety requirements. The operator will share access to back-of-house and storage areas with the Council, including spaces used for equipment, stock and event furniture. These arrangements require coordinated use and may be reviewed periodically to ensure suitability. Operations must also accommodate external events. At times, large-scale events may restrict or suspend access to the castle, during which the operator will not be permitted to trade. In contrast, other events may increase footfall and present additional trading opportunities, with the Council providing advance notice where required. The operator must ensure the site remains open to the public for a minimum of 50 weeks per year and deliver a catering and events offer that supports growth. This includes providing catering for Council-managed events and developing an independent programme of activities outside core hours to enhance the site's profile as a destination venue. All activities must reflect the building's status as a Scheduled Ancient Monument, ensuring a balance between commercial use and the preservation of the site. Revenue Share and Lease Fee The lease will be subject to rental fee and revenue share payments from the operator to the Council. The Council is targeting a minimum guaranteed annual rental payment of £32,000 over initial 5 years of the lease. Rental payments are to be made in advance on a quarterly basis. Operators will be required to propose a revenue share percentage to the Council in Year 1, which should not fall below 3% and not be higher than 10%, without justification. Where a proposal falls below or above this range, the Council may consider the bid to be abnormally low or abnormally high and reserves the right to undertake further investigation and seek clarification from the bidder. The proposed revenue share percentage is not expected to reduce following Year 1. Where a bidder proposes a reduction in revenue share percentage over the contract term, the Council reserves the right to investigate the rationale and set aside the bid where this cannot be satisfactorily justified. The revenue share percentage proposed by operators may vary over the term of the agreement but must always be within the range stated. Revenue share payments are to be made within 30 days at the end of each contract year. Based upon current revenue and subject to indexation the Council estimates that the successful Operator could achieve a turnover figure of approx. £600K. However, the Council considers that there are significant opportunities to increase revenue though investment, events, food offer, advertising, etc. which could have a major positive impact upon revenue generation, potentially increasing revenue generation. Based on an estimated annual turnover of £600,000 in Year 1, the Council anticipates that the total value of the concession opportunity over the potential 10-year contract term could be in the region of £7 million to £8 million. However, it should be noted that all estimates in respect of the value of the business opportunity are purely indicative and provided to comply with the requirements of the Procurement Act 23 in relation to publication of estimated contract values. All figures are non-binding, the Council is providing no guarantees and accepting no liability in the event that the actual value of the business opportunity over the term of the contract falls significantly above or below the guide estimates provided. The specification includes for clearly defined performance standards, service levels and KPIs covering the following areas: • KPI 1 - Customer Experience & Destination Offer • KPI 2 - Event Delivery & Programme Growth • KPI 3 - Catering Quality & Operational Standards • KPI 4 - Commercial Performance & Open Book Reporting • KPI 5 - Compliance, Health & Safety & Asset Stewardship • KPI 6 - Partnership Working, Communication & Community Engagement The Council is seeking to establish a partnership relationship with the successful Operator based on the following principles • Proactive collaboration and co-operation with the Council including attendance at the Strategic and Operational Boards. • Proactive collaboration and co-operation with other current and future stakeholders in the City and the immediate surrounds. • Partnership working with locally based public, private and third-party organisations. • Working with community groups to support activities and events where appropriate. The Operator will be required to align with the Council's Social Value Policy in a manner which provides targeted meaningful impact to individuals, communities, the environment and local economy. All repairs to the spaces occupied must be undertaken with the necessary permissions in place from both Historic England and the Council which reflects the status of the Castle as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. ocds-h6vhtk-065b89 Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:40:24 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d343 Redbourn Primary School (RM&C) - Redbourn Primary School, located in Redbourn, St Albans is putting its catering contract out to tender with a contract start date of 1st January 2027. ocds-h6vhtk-06d343 Fri, 24 Jul 2026 13:37:50 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-067be9 Bath & North East Somerset Council - Bath & North East Somerset Council invites tenders for the operation and management of Royal Victoria Park Golf and Footgolf Site under a concession contract.

Currently the council provides temporary accommodation on average to 25 people every night across North Lincolnshire. Going forward we want to ensure that where we do use temporary accommodation there is choice available across all of North Lincolnshire and that it is of a high standard and vulnerable adults we house in these establishments have appropriate support arrangements in place. Therefore, it is our intention to undertake a procurement exercise to establish a framework for the purchase of temporary accommodation across the whole of North Lincolnshire. However, it is acknowledged that there is a need to retain access to emergency temporary accommodation and to have contracts in place with local hotels and guest houses to allow for effective management of the provision. ocds-h6vhtk-06d211 Thu, 23 Jul 2026 14:19:35 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06d204 West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner - **THIS IS AN RFI ONLY** The West Mercia Police Contracts and Procurement Team, acting on behalf of the Police and Crime Commissioner for West Mercia (the Authority), intends to undertake pre market engagement in accordance with the Procurement Act 2023 in relation to an upcoming Catering Services Tender (Reference: BO26-2723).

Should a procurement process follow, a separate notice and documents will be issued. West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is continuing to explore options to expand and improve temporary accommodation across the county, with a strong focus on promoting and safeguarding the wellbeing of people who are homeless, as well as refugees and migrants in need of housing support. We are particularly interested in working with providers offering privately owned accommodation and independent settings, alongside more traditional provision. Due to increasing demand, we are now actively inviting accommodation providers and property owners to come forward and engage with us. The Council is seeking to engage with providers who can secure or supply temporary and emergency accommodation, as defined by Part VII of the Housing Act 1996, for individuals and households experiencing homelessness. This engagement will help inform a potential future procurement process. The Refugee Resettlement & Migration Service at WSCC works closely with central government, including the Home Office, to support refugees and migrants to safely resettle and integrate into local communities. As demand for accommodation continues to grow—including for people arriving from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Sudan, and other contexts—we are keen to build partnerships that increase the availability of safe, suitable, and sustainable housing across West Sussex. Through this early engagement and soft market testing exercise, WSCC aims to better understand the market, including capacity, interest, and the range of providers that may be able to contribute. We are particularly interested in hearing from providers who can offer the following types of accommodation: 1. Temporary Accommodation Houses – For individuals and families, including those with children, who are homeless or part of refugee and migrant resettlement schemes. 2. Rooms in Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) – Suitable for individuals, including refugees and migrants. 3. Temporary Access Beds – Specifically for young people aged 16–17. 4. Unregistered Accommodation – To support a range of needs within the migrant and refugee community. 5. Longer-Term Accommodation – Self-contained units such as flats to provide more stable housing solutions. 6. Accommodation Requiring Refurbishment – Properties that could be brought up to standard with investment and used to support accommodation needs. Call to Providers If you are a landlord, organisation, or accommodation provider with access to suitable properties—or are interested in working with WSCC to develop or bring properties into use—we strongly encourage you to get in touch. We are keen to collaborate with both existing and new partners to respond to the growing need for accommodation in the county. This engagement is informal and designed to help shape future commissioning opportunities. It also provides an opportunity for providers to share insights, discuss potential models of delivery, and explore partnership working with the Council. Please submit your completed response or expression of interest via email to Finance.RRMS@westsussex.gov.uk by Friday 31st July 2026. Following this initial stage, we will contact interested parties to continue the conversation, gather feedback, and explore opportunities to work together. ocds-h6vhtk-06c769 Thu, 09 Jul 2026 13:53:30 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06c769 West Sussex County Council - West Sussex County Council (WSCC) is continuing to explore options to expand and improve temporary accommodation across the county, with a strong focus on promoting and safeguarding the wellbeing of people who are homeless, as well as refugees and migrants in need of housing support.

There is no dedicated funding available for a strategic partnership in this space. This is not a public procurement exercise, nor a paid partnership or sponsorship opportunity and as such it will not lead to the award of a “public contract” as defined in the Procurement Act 2023. While Find a Tender Service would ordinarily be used in connection with a public procurement exercise, this is not the case here as it is being used to have a wide reach to the market. • The questionnaire will close for responses at 23:59 on Monday 3rd August 2026. Responses after this time will not be accepted. • DHSC will progress up to ten proposals that satisfy the criteria set out on page 3 of this notice. The final number of proposals selected will be based on the scoring methodology described herein, with those achieving the highest scores invited to enter negotiations. • Participation in this process does not create any obligation on either party to enter into a formal partnership or agreement. • DHSC recognises that organisations may wish to combine complementary skills, resources or experience by forming a consortium. We encourage strategic partnership proposals from consortia where they strengthen capability, capacity or coverage. Organisations submitting a consortium proposal must nominate a lead organisation to submit the proposal and act as the single point of contact. They must also clearly outline the consortium membership including the roles, responsibilities and contributions of each consortium member. • There are four scored questions for potential partners to answer. Each refers to key aspects of the partnership needs set out in Strategic Partnership Needs section of this notice. Each question will be scored on a scale of 0-4 which is set out below: Score Justification for Awarding Score 0 - The response does not demonstrate an understanding of the partnership needs and provides no confidence that the partnership needs will be delivered. 1 - The response meets elements of the partnership needs but raises concerns across several significant areas. There are reservations because the response shows: Some misunderstandings of the partnership needs, and a low level of information and detail provided. It provides insufficient confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 2 - The response broadly meets what is expected for the partnership needs, but there are some areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A reasonable understanding of the partnership needs with an acceptable level of information and detail provided. It provides reasonable confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 3 - The response meets what is expected for the partnership needs in all material respects, with no areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A good understanding of the partnership needs, and a good level of information and detail provided. It provides good confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. 4 - The response exceeds many aspects of the partnership needs. There are no areas of concern. The response therefore shows: A very good understanding of the partnership needs, and very good level of information and detail provided. It provides a high degree of confidence that the potential partner’s proposal will meet and deliver the partnership needs. The response goes beyond partnership needs in some areas with evidence of added value beyond what was expected. In addition, the following criteria will be considered when scoring responses: Acceptability: Alignment with Child Poverty Strategy Practicability: Feasibility of partnership Effectiveness: Expected impact Side effects / safety: Alignment with DHSC policy Innovation: Level of ambition Political alignment: Alignment with political priorities Background and Scope Child poverty in the UK has increased by 700,000 since 2010/11, with 4 million children now living in poverty and 1 million having used foodbanks within the last 12 months . Tackling child poverty is central to this government’s mission to remove barriers to opportunity and raise the healthiest generation of children ever. Our Children, Our Future: Tackling Child Poverty Strategy (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/our-children-our-future-tackling-child-poverty) sets out immediate actions to reduce poverty and the long-term foundations needed to change its trajectory. As part of the Strategy, DHSC has committed to explore how industry and government can better work together to address the health impacts of child poverty (page 92). Scale of the problem: Child poverty is a wider determinant of health and can be a risk factor for worse physical and mental health outcomes , Evidence shows that exposure to poverty during childhood is associated with worse physical and mental health outcomes . These health inequalities may manifest differently throughout pregnancy, the early years, middle childhood and adolescence: • Pregnancy: Health behaviours and risks often begin before pregnancy . Poverty increases the risk of low birth weight and infant mortality. • Early years (0-5 years): At ages four and five years, obesity prevalence and tooth decay are strongly linked to deprivation. Children on free school meals are less likely to be school ready at age five years. • Middle childhood (5-11 years): Children from less affluent families are least likely to be active . By age 10-11 years, children in the most deprived areas are twice as likely to be obese • Adolescence (11-18 years): Risky health behaviours often begin during adolescence. Poverty is usually measured at individual or household level whereas deprivation uses area-based measures (typically using the Index of Multiple Deprivation). Inequalities in health outcomes can be measured in different ways. In some cases, health and poverty metrics data are not measured together, so other measures like area-based deprivation or the family’s socioeconomic status are used. While area-based deprivation metrics can help identify need, they do not capture all children experiencing poverty. This work therefore focuses on children living in poverty across England, regardless of location. We have heard from young people, parents and wider stakeholders through early market engagement exercises that: • Poverty has an impact on ability to access healthy food, affordable transport, housing quality and lack of outdoor spaces that support physical activity. • Financial, job insecurity, and debt pressures can place additional stress on families experiencing poverty. • There is limited access to learning opportunities and education for families in poverty, as well as low health literacy and awareness, which can act as barriers to health improvement. We are looking for scalable solutions that address the wider determinants of health associated with child poverty. Solutions should focus on: • Mitigating impacts of the cost-of-living crisis, to enable families to live healthy lives and make healthy choices. This includes equitable access to affordable and nutritious food, cooking equipment, leisure activities and transport. • Adequate mental health, education and developmental support provision, including addressing stigma, raising awareness of existing support and eligibility. Educational and developmental support could include life skills such as cooking and diet, budgeting and financial literacy. Following the market engagement event hosted by DHSC on Wednesday 15 April 2026, this notice is an invitation to submit a proposal to collaborate with DHSC and contribute to innovative, impactful solutions to improve the health of children living in poverty. Please complete questionnaire to submit a proposal: https://forms.office.com/e/SnUJi1QCJF Whilst this engagement focuses specifically on the wider determinants of health associated with child poverty, opportunities to support the broader Children and Young People (CYP) health agenda are expected via the CYP Modern Service Framework (MSF), which is being developed by NHS England. The CYP MSF is intended to support the NHS and system partners, including public health and local government, to ensure all children receive timely, high-quality care and support when they need it, while improving performance and efficiency across the health system. Engagement relating to the CYP MSF will be conducted by NHSE and does not form part of this market engagement exercise. ocds-h6vhtk-06c2ac Thu, 02 Jul 2026 16:13:57 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-032f8f Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council - The Department for Education funded ‘Holiday Activities and Food’ (HAF) programme provides healthy food and enriching activities to disadvantaged children.

Poverty increases the risk of low birth weight and infant mortality. • Early years (0-5 years): At ages four and five years, obesity prevalence and tooth decay are strongly linked to deprivation. Children on free school meals are less likely to be school ready at age five years. • Middle childhood (5-11 years): Children from less affluent families are least likely to be active . By age 10-11 years, children in the most deprived areas are twice as likely to be obese • Adolescence (11-18 years): Risky health behaviours often begin during adolescence. Poverty is usually measured at individual or household level whereas deprivation uses area-based measures (typically using the Index of Multiple Deprivation). Inequalities in health outcomes can be measured in different ways. In some cases, health and poverty metrics data are not measured together, so other measures like area-based deprivation or the family’s socioeconomic status are used. While area-based deprivation metrics can help identify need, they do not capture all children experiencing poverty. This work therefore focuses on children living in poverty across England, regardless of location. We have heard from young people, parents and wider stakeholders through early market engagement exercises that: • Poverty has an impact on ability to access healthy food, affordable transport, housing quality and lack of outdoor spaces that support physical activity. • Financial, job insecurity, and debt pressures can place additional stress on families experiencing poverty. • There is limited access to learning opportunities and education for families in poverty, as well as low health literacy and awareness, which can act as barriers to health improvement. We are looking for scalable solutions that address the wider determinants of health associated with child poverty. Solutions should focus on: • Mitigating impacts of the cost-of-living crisis, to enable families to live healthy lives and make healthy choices. This includes equitable access to affordable and nutritious food, cooking equipment, leisure activities and transport. • Adequate mental health, education and developmental support provision, including addressing stigma, raising awareness of existing support and eligibility. Educational and developmental support could include life skills such as cooking and diet, budgeting and financial literacy. Following the market engagement event hosted by DHSC on Wednesday 15 April 2026, this notice is an invitation to submit a proposal to collaborate with DHSC and contribute to innovative, impactful solutions to improve the health of children living in poverty. Please complete questionnaire to submit a proposal: https://forms.office.com/e/SnUJi1QCJF Whilst this engagement focuses specifically on the wider determinants of health associated with child poverty, opportunities to support the broader Children and Young People (CYP) health agenda are expected via the CYP Modern Service Framework (MSF), which is being developed by NHS England. The CYP MSF is intended to support the NHS and system partners, including public health and local government, to ensure all children receive timely, high-quality care and support when they need it, while improving performance and efficiency across the health system. Engagement relating to the CYP MSF will be conducted by NHSE and does not form part of this market engagement exercise. ocds-h6vhtk-06c2ac Thu, 02 Jul 2026 15:34:12 +0100 https://d3tenders.com/contract/?ocid=ocds-h6vhtk-06c265 Generations Multi Academy Trust - The successful Supplier will be required to provide catering services for the four schools of Generations MAT, two Secondary schools – Goffs Academy and Goffs Churchgate and two primary schools, Flamstead End and Oakview Primary School and potentially new schools as they join the trust where existing contract allow. The name “Generations” was deliberately chosen for our Trust, and reflects our desire to be a Trust that educates and nurtures children from their earliest days at school. Partnership is at the heart of our all of our work, founded in a core commitment to there being no set destiny for any child, regardless of their starting point. Goffs Academy is a mixed 11-18 comprehensive academy with approximately 1,600 students on roll, including a thriving and successful sixth form. The school is also extremely popular in the local area, with an average of over 800 applications annually for the 240 places available, and significant waiting lists for places across the year groups. Goffs-Churchgate Academy is a fully mixed 11-16 comprehensive school, with approximately 600 students on roll. The school has rightly established a very strong reputation for both its academic outcomes and its close-knit, nurturing community, receiving an average of over 600 applications for just 120 available places. The decision to cap student numbers at 600 is entirely deliberate, enabling us to maintain a strong sense of community where everybody knows everybody else. Flamstead End School is a thriving primary school with approximately 480 children on roll. It has a preschool, a 60-place nursery offering 30 hours provision, and two classes per year group from Reception to Year 6. Flamstead End is also a ' Herts Therapeutic Thinking' school, and seeks to understand and support children's behaviour so that they are able to learn and achieve to the best of their ability. The school is a tight knit community, with a well-established staff who care for one another and the children in their charge. Oakview Primary School is a one-form entry warm and welcoming primary school with currently approximately 180 children on roll although we anticipate that this will grow to a figure closer to the theoretical capacity of 210. After joining the trust in January of 2025, Andrews Lane Primary was relaunched as Oakview Primary, marking the beginning of a significant transformation under the leadership of the Trust. This was far more than a rebrand. The change of name signaled a new identity, reflecting the ambition to deliver a higher quality of education, stronger community links, and continuously improving outcomes for all children. As a 'Herts Therapeutic Thinking' school, the school is committed to understanding and supporting children with their learning and achievement, within a context of deep-rooted mutual respect. Staff are committed, dedicated professionals who want to do their very best for every pupil. The Trust is presenting this exciting opportunity to partner with a supplier who is able to deliver their vision of promoting health and wellbeing through food provision across the four schools which currently are budgeted to achieve sales of £1.05m with a catering model that is close to break even for the trust. It is thought that, with focus of resources and investment, there is still some growth potential through finding the optimum foodservice offer. Please see PSQ Document for more information.

The scope of the Contract will include the management of: • The Orangery Café and • The Kiosk (the "Outlets"). This procurement is not divided into Lots. The Council does not consider that subdivision into lots would be appropriate, as this could risk tendering the execution of the Contract excessively technically difficult or expensive, and the need to coordinate different operators for the lots could seriously risk undermining the proper performance of the Contract and achievement of the Services' outcomes. The Council wishes to achieve the following outcomes for the services: • Establish a long-term partnership with an experienced operator • Enhance the existing catering offer at the Parks. • Offer a range of meals, snacks and beverages which address the needs of the customers and user groups of the park, reflecting current trends with daily specials and seasonal variations. • Promote healthy food and beverage options ensuring clear labelling of products. • Provide a responsive catering service for park activities and events. • Maintain a minimum Food Hygiene Rate of Four (4) • Offer added value to the overall park offer by attracting new customers and increasing footfall. • Financial stability for the Outlets through reduced costs and increased income due to a more commercial approach It is anticipated that the Contract will commence in December 2026. The estimated value of the contract over the maximum 20 year term is £10m. This has been calculated based on the total turnover estimated to be generated by the Operator at the Catering Outlets over the maximum 20 year term. ocds-h6vhtk-06c122 Wed, 01 Jul 2026 12:27:55 +0100
