The purpose of the funding is to ensure that children and young people have access to food and activities over the school holiday periods where they are eligible for Free School Meals. Local Authorities require face-to-face provision over the school holidays. The number of children / young people eligible for the provision is estimated to be around 5,451. As a minimum, it's expected that roughly 20-25% of those eligible will take up the offer per School Holiday. To ensure spread of provision across the Torbay Area, the Authority expects there to be at least 7 projects in Torquay, 7 in Paignton and 2 in Brixham. Torbay Council are seeking some applications to specifically cater towards the older cohort (13- to 16-year-olds), it is anticipated that there will be at least 2 projects delivered to this cohort. Torbay Council are also seeking applications for children with complex SEND, it is anticipated that there will be 1 project delivered to this cohort. Within those projects the provider is expected to cater for and provide adequate resources and support for children and young people that may be part of the vulnerable group categories. ## CPV classification Children's holiday-camp services Social work and related services Other community, social and personal services Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-05059e-2025-07-24T12:14:15+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-05059e-2025-07-24T12:14:15+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
