## Summary

The Cornwall Council has initiated a tender process for the contract titled "Blue Badge Independent Mobility Assessments 2023-2027" within the health services industry category. The procurement method is an open procedure, with a contract value of £90,000 in GBP. The tender period ends on March 27, 2023, and the contract period spans from June 23, 2023, to April 30, 2026. This opportunity is located in England and is suited for SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender by Cornwall Council presents an opportunity for businesses in the health services sector, specifically those providing company health services, to offer Independent Mobility Assessments. The contract duration until 2027 allows for long-term business planning. Businesses with expertise in expert assessors for physical walking disabilities would be well-suited to compete in this procurement stage, which is currently active and seeking competitive bids.

## Notice

In 2019 the DfT amended the legislation which underpins the Blue Badge scheme widening the scope from physical disability to both physical and non-physical disabilities. The changes were supported with updated non statutory guidance for local authorities in England. In line with the changes a range of expert assessors are used by Cornwall Council to decide applications which are eligible 'subject to further assessment'. This contract relates specifically to the assessment of applicants with physical walking disabilities only. For clarity within the scope of this contract, these assessments will be referred to as Independent Mobility Assessments (IMA).
