Tender description

Torbay Council has been successful in obtaining grant funding by the Department for Education (DfE) to roll out a Holiday Activities and Food Programme for 2026. The purpose of the funding is to ensure that children and young people have access to food and activities over the school holiday periods where they are eligible for Free School Meals. Local Authorities require face-to-face provision over the school holidays. The number of children / young people eligible for the provision is estimated to be around 5,451. As a minimum, it’s expected that roughly 20-25% of those eligible will take up the offer per School Holiday. Torbay Council are procuring an open framework for this requirement. The time period of the framework and the reopening arrangements are subject to confirmed funding from the DfE. Keywords: HAF Open Framework, HAF 2026, Holiday Activities and Food Programme
