    West Berkshire is calling off a provider for the Free School Meals Vouchers Scheme. This provides the facility for schools to be able to access food vouchers for use by parents/guardians of pupils who are eligible for FSM during 7 weeks-5days a week, of the school holidays each year. This contract has been awarded as a call-off from the Crown Commercial Service Framework RM6248 Payment Solutions 2 Lot 3, following evaluation of the 5 Providers on the Crown Commercial Services Framework. Direct award followed the evaluation of the responses, without further competition. The contract value specified in this notice is the anticipated upper amount payable for this service. Additional information: It is anticipated that the call off from the Framework will be for 3 years and 3 months. The call off allows multiple purchases throughout the year, depending on required need. The Household support fund, which the purchase and contribution of the vouchers is depending on has been allocated again for the financial year 2025/26. Future funding and ongoing call off is pending.
