## Summary

The Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council is initiating a tender process titled "Prior Information Notice - Access Barnsley" under the industry category of Other Community, Social, and Personal Services. This procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a deadline for engagement set for the 12th of April, 2018. The anticipated contract start date is 1st April, 2018, and the service will be focused in Barnsley, located in the Yorkshire and the Humber region of the United Kingdom. The aim of this contract is to enhance accessibility for individuals with mobility constraints, thereby supporting social inclusion within the community.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses involved in mobility services, social inclusion initiatives, or those specialising in community-focused projects. Companies that have expertise in managing and supplying mobility aids, such as scooters, could particularly excel in this tender process. As the contract is designed to improve public accessibility in Barnsley town centre, businesses targeting social value and community wellbeing would find this contract aligned with their objectives, potentially leading to significant growth through partnership with the council in fulfilling vital public services.

## Notice

It compliments Barnsley's aim of creating an assessable environment and thereby enhances its broader commitment to social inclusion. The current contracted provision expires on 31st March 2018 and thus the organisation which submits the successful bid will be awarded a contract with a start date of 1st April 2018. The service's principal function will be to provide, manage and facilitate the hiring of scooters to individuals with reduced mobility for whatever reason (be it physical disability, age, short term injury or any other debilitating factor). The service improves the accessibility of Barnsley town centre and promotes social inclusion.
