In December 2018, we announced £9 million for the 2019 Holiday Activities and Food programme. The department invited organisations to bid to take on the role of testing the coordination of free holiday provision for disadvantaged children in a local authority area during the 2019 summer holidays.

92 bids were received and on 8 May 2019, we announced the 11 organisations that had been successful in securing funding for this summer. Since then, officials have provided feedback to unsuccessful bidders, including the bid submitted for the Bristol area that was supported by the hon. Member for Bristol East. Any organisation that submitted an unsuccessful bid can request a breakdown of their scoring data by contacting the department.
