    Brief

    Torbay Council is seeking qualified organisations to join an open framework as providers for the Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF). With three years of Department for Education funding (2027 onwards), this programme aims to deliver nutritious meals and engaging activities to eligible children and young people during school holiday breaks. Providers will deliver face-to-face provision during Easter, Summer, October Half Term, Christmas, and February Half Term holidays. This is the first framework opportunity in Torbay Council's open framework scheme. Interested organisations should demonstrate capacity to support vulnerable children through structured holiday provision combining food access and recreational activities.
