Provision of Enfield Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)

The contracting authority requires a HAF arrangement to provide a wide range of opportunities for eligible children and young people (CYP) to take part in, that are local to where they live, and could be:

- Face-to-face activities providing a range of activities; for at least four hours per day
- Provision could include ‘open access’ activities that do not require advance booking, providing that the activity is targeted to geographic areas of highest need for the age group
- An offer for children and young people who have SEND; this could include more specialist provision that is exclusively for children with SEND

Organisations will be able to apply to run provision exclusively for HAF eligible children or offer several places within an existing provision that also offers paid places.

These holiday club places will provide children with at least one nutritious hot meal each day, as well as a range of physical and enriching activities. This programme is targeted at school-aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits related free school meals.

Funding will be dispensed from the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme grant that has been allocated to London Borough of Enfield by the Department for Education (DfE).

HAF services shall take place during the Easter, Summer and Winter school holidays each year for a total of 6 weeks:
- Easter = 1 week (4 days)
- Summer = 4 weeks (16 days)
- Winter = 1 week (4 days)

Therefore, the contracting authority requires a good range of suitably qualified providers to cover locations across the borough of Enfield appointing providers under the following 2 Lots via a Framework Agreement:

- Lot 2: Specialist HAF provision for children and young people with targeted or specialist special educational needs and / or disabilities (SEND) (Note: maximum of 5 providers to be appointed in line with the procurement documents)
