About

Torbay Council is seeking suppliers to join an open framework to deliver face-to-face Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) provision in 2026 funded by the Department for Education, ensuring children and young people eligible for Free School Meals have access to food and activities over school holiday periods; the number eligible is estimated at around 5,451 with an expected uptake of roughly 20–25% per school holiday. The council requires in-person holiday provision and is procuring a range of providers to meet this need, noting that the framework time period and any reopening arrangements are subject to confirmed DfE funding.
