Award of early years SEN transport assistance
18/09/2019 - Award of early years SEN transport assistance
The decision has been taken to:
1. Award early years transport assistance to child X at a maximum
annual cost of £30,400.
2. Award a contract to Blue Line Taxis to supply the required
transport for a 5 year term at a maximum annual value of
£30,400. 2 Compliant bids were received.
Child X is 3 years old and attends an early years placement at a
special school. Currently attendance is 2 days per week but this is
expected to increase. Child X has significant medical difficulties
that place X at risk during a transport journey. Child x is not
entitled to statutory free transport until the age of 4.
To ensure X can be transported safely, discretionary transport
assistance will be provided in the form of a taxi and passenger
assistant.
