About

The Department for Education awarded a contract to Ecory's for the design and delivery of research to evaluate the implementation and impact of the 2021 Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF), which was rolled out across all local authority areas during the Easter, summer, and Christmas holidays.

The evaluation predominantly considered the summer holiday scheme, with potential scope to also examine the Christmas holiday scheme.

The research aimed to understand whether the national approach to delivering HAF met programme aims and to inform decisions on future delivery.

Project design and setup commenced in Spring 2021, with the contract expected to last until Autumn 2021 and a possibility of extension until early 2022.

The contract value was AUD 445,332.51.
