## Summary

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is currently conducting a tender for "Travel Assistance" services, valued at £20,000. This procurement falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy and related services. The tender period is open until 22nd March 2017, and the contract is expected to commence on 1st May 2017, lasting until 31st July 2017. The Council aims to conduct a review of its service provision in light of increasing demand for travel assistance for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in consultancy services. Businesses equipped to offer insights into compliance with new travel and transport policies, as well as those experienced in enhancing service delivery for local councils, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Engaging with the ongoing needs of the Bradford community and local educational authorities could foster growth and establish long-term partnerships with the Council.

## Notice

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (the "Council") has a statutory obligation to provide Travel Assistance ("TA") to eligible children of compulsory school age, to facilitate their attendance at school in certain circumstances. The Council also provides TA for eligible adults. The Council anticipates that there will be a rising number of children in the district with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities which will create an increasing demand for travel assistance. In September 2015 a new Travel & Transport Policy ("TTP") was agreed which set out how the Council supports the right of all children and young people to learn how to travel independently and become economically active citizens. It has been developed to ensure best use of public resources by prioritising support to those in greatest need and reflects the districts "New Deal", a developing understanding of what people can expect from local services, and what they are responsible for themselves. The Council is looking for a consultant to undertake a review of Council service proivision.
