Description

The London Borough of Newham is issuing this notice to alert the market about the following tender opportunity.

The procurement is being conducted in accordance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and is subject to the light-touch regime under Section 7 Social and Other Specific Services. Under Regulation 76 the Council is free to establish a procedure, provided that procedure is sufficient to ensure compliance with the principles of transparency and equal treatment of economic operators (Suppliers).

We are inviting applications for funding from experienced and qualified organisations to provide free places at holiday clubs during the Easter holidays in 2022. This funding will be dispensed from the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme grant that has been allocated to LB Newham by the Department for Education.

These holiday club places will provide children with at least one nutritious meal each day, as well as a range of physical, educational and enriching activities. This programme is targeted at school-aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals.
A small number of free or subsidised holiday club places will be for children and young people who are not in receipt of benefits-related free school meals, but who the local authority believe would benefit from HAF provision.

The maximum estimated budget available for this procurement is £300k.
We are looking to award contracts to multiple providers to ensure there is a rich mix of provision that can cater for children of all ages, with different needs and interests, which is spread across the borough to make it easily accessible.

The tender is divided into 3 lots as follows:

Lot 1 - Primary age universal provision (including children with additional needs)
Lot 2 - Secondary age universal provision (including children with additional needs)
Lot 3 - Specialist SEND provision (children of all age groups with significant or complex needs)

Please refer to the additional information section to see further details/continuation of this text.

Additional text

SEND Definitions

Additional Needs (low-level needs)
Most children with SEN or disabilities will have their needs met in mainstream schools. These children will get support for their individual needs as part of everyday learning, which could be with the whole class or in groups. A SENCO might arrange support from people outside the school to help too.

Significant Needs
Some children have severe learning difficulties. These children will get support which is extra to, or different from, the support given to most of the children in their class.

Complex
A very small number of children have profound or multiple learning difficulties. These children need specialist support, which may come not just from the school but from health and care services too.
