Lots and requirements (2)Procurement structure

2 lots · no lot values published
Lot #1Childcare Places by Area and by Age
Lot #2Bespoke Specialist Activities/Schemes

Bespoke Specialist Activities/Schemes:

Providers within this Lot bid to deliver bespoke projects, which may have a different delivery model from Lot 1 (e.g. camping / residentials, programmes of trips or visits for teenagers, outdoor adventurous activities, cooking, horse-riding, water-based activities or schemes for children with SEND).

These projects may be innovative, seasonal or focus on bringing communities together. They may be enriching activities for children that do not fit within a traditional childcare setting. They may be partnership projects that combine HAF funding with other funding streams.

For specialist activities, Providers must set out how they will meet relevant national requirements, such as having appropriately qualified staff for, for example, canoeing or horse-riding activities.

Activity sessions must be structured around the age and assessed level of needs of children and young people accessing the service. Food must be provided as set out in the specification requirements.

    • Change Use of Modification clause to increase the capacity of successful providers delivering under the call off from the framework up to a maximum of 50% of their previous contract award value in order to meet need and fulfil the DfE funding requirements regarding volume of places delivered to eligible children and young people., Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: This modification was required due to an increase in budget available, due to underspend in the Summer and Easter Holiday Activity and Food scheme delivery. In order to increase capacity within existing provision with the funding made available by the DfE it was agreed to achieve the volumes required via purchase of additional places not previously able to be funded due to budget restrictions but which were applied for by the provider during the first call off application process. This was considered to be the most proportionate approach to allocate a portion of the additional funding that has become available (up to 50% ). It will enable providers already operating in areas of need to be funded, to ensure that target figures of attendance are reached, and that Christmas 2022 budget is further committed without requiring the, predominantly SME's, to reapply and go through a further competitive process for the venues they have already secured recently. It was only a budget restriction that prevented them from being fully funding at the time of application and that restriction no longer applies.
