Description

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), together with a number of other Public Sector Organisations, currently run a Holiday Playscheme that is available to all participating members of Public Sector Departments during term school holidays and half-term school holiday periods. The contract is for three years and the provision is required to be in place for March 2019, ahead of the commencement of the May 2019 school half-term holidays. The Scheme is primarily aimed at 4-12 year olds, providing a service throughout all school holidays and half-term holidays 8:30am to 5pm. It is not possible to accurately predict the potential demand for the scheme and the Authority does not guarantee take-up rates. However, the maximum number of available places* is 90 per day (accommodation being the limiting factor) for each school holiday throughout the year (across the three sites) and on average there is 3,665 places* used per annum. The three sites are: • Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, 1 Victoria Street, London, SW1H 0ET • Department of Work & Pensions, Caxton House, Tothill Street, LONDON, SW1H 9DA • HM Treasury, 1 Horse Guards Road, London, SW1A 2HQ The current split of 90 spaces per school holiday across the three sites is: • Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy: 42 • Department of Work & Pensions: 34 • HM Treasury: 24 * One Place is the provision of One Child for One day from 8:30am to 5pm.
