    Brief

    Cumberland Council is reforming its approach to commissioning Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) activities from Summer 2027 onwards. The Easter 2027 application process will continue under current arrangements, providing providers with time to prepare for changes. The Council is holding two information sessions (8th October and 3rd November 2026) to explain the proposed new application process, answer questions, and gather provider feedback. Attendance is strongly encouraged for all HAF providers. Providers are invited to complete a pre-market engagement survey via The Chest (Cumberland Council's e-procurement portal) to share views on proposed payment arrangements and explain how different options could impact their organisation. Survey responses must be submitted by 7th October 2026. This feedback will directly inform the development of a fair and practical commissioning approach for future HAF provision. Access the survey and further details via The Chest at https://www.the-chest.org.uk.
