About

Leicestershire County Council awarded a contract to Edenred (UK Group) Limited for the purchase of food vouchers and the system to distribute them to pupils eligible for free school meals over school holidays and other vulnerable families up to the end of the February half term 2021.

The contract, valued at £659,000, was funded by the Government's Covid Winter Grant, which must be awarded to families with children for food, energy and utilities and can also support other vulnerable families.

The award was made without prior publication of a call for competition in the Official Journal of the European Union due to extreme urgency brought about by unforeseeable events, in line with PPN 01/20.

The Council received confirmation of the grant on 10 November 2020 and needed to place an order by 8 December 2020 to have the system in place for the Christmas holiday period.
