Description
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council is seeking to procure a suitably experienced provider to deliver a programme of high quality, inclusive staffed play sessions for children and young people during school holiday periods across Neath Port Talbot. The Service will be funded through the Welsh Government Holiday Playwork Project grant and will run over a two year contract period from July 2026 to March 2028, with funding of approximately £52,000 (excl. VAT) per annum. Provision must be delivered during Easter, Whitsun, Summer, October and February school holidays (with potential for weekend sessions where need is identified) and include qualified playworkers, free access for children and the provision of healthy food or snacks at every session. The programme will support the Council’s Play Sufficiency priorities by promoting wellbeing, development and social play, reducing holiday hunger and actively targeting inclusion of children from rural areas, deprived communities and those with additional learning needs, alongside robust safeguarding, food safety, monitoring and Welsh Language Standards compliance.
