## Summary

Medway Council is currently conducting a tender for "SEN Travel Training," aimed at providing transport assistance for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities in the South East region of the United Kingdom. The procurement falls within the health and social work services category, with a total contract value of £50,000 and a minimum value of £20,000. The open procurement method is being utilised, with the tender period ending on 26th July 2018. The contract is set to commence on 1st August 2018 and will run until 17th July 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in transport services, support for individuals with disabilities, or educational training programs. Both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as their expertise in delivering tailored services could align well with this initiative. Engaging in this tender could help businesses expand their service offerings and foster growth in the social care sector.

## Notice

Transport assistance may be provided in various ways including a bus pass for use on public services, an escort to accompany the child on foot or on public transport, a mini bus or, in very exceptional circumstances, an individual taxi. However, the expectation is that as the pupil grows older and matures they will come to use public transport wherever possible. Medway Council has a duty under DFE "Post 16 Transport to Education and Training" Statutory Guidance for local authorities (February 2014) to consider travel arrangements for learners with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and to reassess these arrangements at key life moments. The DFE Guidance also strongly recommends travel training schemes to enable young people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities to gain skills which can be used for travelling to education or training, particularly because of the all round benefits.
