Purpose

A decision on the approval to commence a three-quote procurement process to secure the delivery of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme, funded by the Department for Education, within the Ribble Valley district. This decision ensures compliance with procurement regulations and supports the provision of high-quality holiday activities and nutritious food for eligible children and families. A three-quote process is required as the district council have reported that they are not in a position to supply HAF in this district. Therefore, we are required to approach other suitable delivery partners to ensure the service is provided.

Decision

Kathy Ashworth, Head of Service Early Help, on behalf of the Paul Turner, Director of Education, Culture and Skills, took a decision to extend a contract with Roefield Leisure Trust for the delivery of the Holiday Activities and Food Programme for a further 3 months.
