Lot #1The majority of the requirement covers regular home to school transport for pupils andAwardedPublished value£32,000,000

The majority of the requirement covers regular home to school transport for pupils and

students attending primary and secondary educational establishments both within and

outside the Council’s area. This includes a significant provision for children and young

adults with a range of additional support needs and disabilities. In addition to this core

requirement, the DPS will be used to meet requirements in respect of adult social care –

attending regular day care, periodic access to respite care and similar activities – as well

as transport required by educational or other establishments providing access to off-site

activities such as swimming lessons or museum visits. Finally, the DPS may be used to

commission transport services required for more general community support purposes.
