Providers will be asked to bid and submit a proposal for Easter Holidays 2025.
Successful Providers' contracts, as delivered under the Easter 2025 holiday provision, maybe extended/varied to cover delivery in the Summer and Christmas school holiday period. At

If Successful Providers meet the threshold that the Commissioner deems as successful
delivery, they will be emailed a proposal form for completion for the next school holiday period. The same evaluation criteria will be applied to the subsequent proposals.
There is also a possibility that DCC may acquire funding from different sources that may be used for main school holidays, half term holidays or funding for participants to attend that
are not in receipt of Benefits-related Free School Meals. Where this is the case successful providers will be updated regarding the scope of delivery.
