SEND Passenger Transport Minibus Contract St Giles & Rutherfords

Notice Description

Open procedure for St Giles & Rutherfords Minibus Contract, for the provision of transport services for children with SEND. Contract length is for 3+1 years.

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Council provides home-to-school travel support for children, young people with Special Education Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND), and home-to care provision travel support for vulnerable adults, in accordance with its Statutory obligations and published eligibility policies. Travel support takes many forms, including the provision of independent travel training to enable clients to travel independently on public transport, personal travel budgets and direct payments to enable clients to make their own travel arrangements. Nevertheless, the direct provision of passenger transport is still the most common provision for eligible clients. The Council's Statutory responsibility is to provide Travel Assistance for children with special educational needs and disabilities, to be able to access education. The Council are looking to tender the current St Giles and Rutherfords (expiring 31/08/22) contract, under a new tender for a period of 3 years with the option of a 1 year extension (3+1).
