Coverage: 417 active published awards; 27 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments.

Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The Council wishes to seek multiple Providers to deliver the Fun and Food programme to Children in Receipt of Benefits-related Free School Meals within the boundaries of County Durham.
This project utilises Department for Education (DfE) funding which is for school aged children in receipt of benefits related free school meals.
All providers must meet DfE framework of standards as below:
• Food Provision
• Enrichment Activities
• Physical Activities
• Increasing Awareness of Healthy Eating, healthy lifestyles, and positive behaviours
• Signposting and referrals and supporting families
• Safeguarding
• Policies and Procedures
Please note - sessions do not need to be exclusively for children in receipt benefits related Free School Meals, alternative funding may be sourced by the organisation to fund children ineligible for DfE funding i.e parents/carers may be charged for sessions by the
activity organisation.
