Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme Open Select List (OSL)

Lincolnshire County Council are seeking to invite interested parties to apply to join the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) Open Select List (OSL) from Winter 2025. This is a re-opening of Lincolnshire County Council's HAF OSL.

The HAF OSL is a list of experienced providers that meet set requirements and have minimum standards for the delivery of the HAF Programme in Lincolnshire during the period when HAF is funded by the Government.

The purpose of the HAF programme is to provide free holiday provision, including healthy food and physical and enriching activities, for Lincolnshire school-aged children and young people (reception to year 11) who are eligible for and receive benefits-related Free School Meals.

Only interested parties who already have experience in delivering holiday, after-school or out of school provision to secondary-age children and young people will be considered. For this re-opening Lincolnshire County Council is only seeking interested parties who are able to specifically provide drop-in sports and/or leisure sessions to eligible secondary-aged children and young people (CYP) from school Year 7 to Year 11 during the Winter 2025 school holidays. The drop-in sessions should be fully inclusive so that secondary-aged CYP with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) can also access them.
