## Description
Medway Council is funded to deliver holiday activities and food provision over Easter, summer and Christmas school holidays every year. The provision will deliver physical and enriching activities, hot and nutritious meals at each session and links to support services to help children and families with health, wellbeing and financial support.
The tender has been split into three distinct service areas, which in turn form three lots. Bidders can bid for one or more lots as outlined within the specification. Once the DPS is active, live requirements will be associated to one of the three subsequent lots and all eligible DPS members within the respective lot will be sent the mini-competition documents. As with all DPSs, there will be no cap on the maximum number of eligible members under the DPS.
