Tender description

Medway Council is funded to deliver holiday activities and food provision over Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays every year. The provision will deliver physical and enriching activities, hot and nutritious meals at each session and links to support services to help children and families with health, wellbeing and financial support. The tender has been split into three distinct service areas, which in turn form three lots. Bidders can bid for one or more lots as outlined within the specification. Once the DPS is active, live requirements will be associated to one of the three subsequent lots and all eligible DPS members within the respective lot will be sent the mini-competition documents. As with all DPSs, there will be no cap on the maximum number of eligible members under the DPS.

About the buyer

Medway Council governs the Medway towns in Kent, and buys as a local authority with its own central procurement team. All contracting opportunities are advertised on the Kent Business Portal, where suppliers can search live tenders and set up email alerts. Suppliers must also register on the Central Digital Platform, a requirement since the Procurement Act 2023 took effect. Dynamic purchasing systems cover recurring needs such as SEND transport, supported living and agency staff recruitment. Premarket engagement with suppliers shapes tender requirements before contracts go live. The council also publishes its full contracts register on the same portal.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Medway Council's contract awards have been in construction work, architectural and engineering services and health and social work.
