About

Torbay Council awarded a contract to Basis for expert advice and project management on the Free School Meals auto-enrolment process.

The supplier worked with the Council's Free School Meals Task and Finish group to outline each step of the auto-enrolment process, map out steps needed to get agreement across all teams involved, support engagement with key stakeholders, and provide a clear delivery plan.

The process was tailored to current Torbay operations, including preparing and gathering legal and data protection approvals, identifying eligible children, supporting data teams with data matching and eligibility checking, sending opt-out letters to identified families, registering pupils who did not opt out, and embedding auto-enrolment for future iterations with a procedure document.

The contract value was AUD 24,375 under the PCR 2015 procurement regime via RFQ.
