## Summary

Bradford Metropolitan District Council is conducting a procurement process for the project titled "Independent Travel Training and Travel Buddy." This initiative falls within the safety training services industry, specifically aimed at enhancing the independence of young people and vulnerable adults in using public transport. The procurement method employed is an open procedure, and although the tender period has ended on the 3rd of August 2018, the contract is set to commence on the 3rd of September 2018 and will run until the 31st of August 2020. The total contract value is £27,000, while the awarded contract value amounts to £89,940. The services will be delivered in Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses that provide training and support services, particularly those focused on safety and personal development. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, as the contracting authority is actively seeking providers to deliver independent travel training and travel buddy services. Companies with expertise in transportation accessibility, as well as those experienced in working with vulnerable groups, will find this tender especially relevant to their operations.

## Notice

To develop the independence of young people and vulnerable adults so that they can travel independently using public transport. We are seeking a provider who can offer independent travel training to enable young people and vulnerable adults to travel safely to and from their home, to either school/college or day care provision using public transport. Also to provide a 'Travel Buddy' provision to walk or accompany them on a bus, instead of arranging a taxi for them.
