Tender description
Birmingham City Council (the "Council") is seeking to appoint an organisation to deliver the Holiday Activity and Food Programme. This holiday provision is for school aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals. For 2026 to 2027, the HAF programme will remain in line with the existing FSM threshold, for the whole of the delivery year (April 2026 – March 2027). From September 2026, when the new FSM expansion takes place, HAF will not be expanded to children from households in receipt of Universal Credit for this delivery period. The contract is estimated to commence on 01 October 2026 and will be in place for a period of 2 years and 6 months (end March 2029) with the option to extend for a further 1 year subject to satisfactory performance and funding availability.
