Description

The Council procures journeys for children, young people and adult service users, as well as
for Council staff using taxi providers. These journeys are commonly planned e.g. trips to and
from school or unplanned e.g. one-off journeys to an appointment. Those who access our services using taxis may require additional support or supervision which must be provided through a Passenger Assistant and arranged by the taxi Provider. On some occasions a parent may be required to be the Passenger Assistant. Some of those who access our services using taxis have additional needs of the vehicle e.g. the size of vehicle or ramps and wheelchair accessibility or a need for the Driver and/or passenger assistant to have specialist training e.g. how to help someone with a medical condition such as epilepsy. In order to address these needs the DPS will be split into two categories:

• Category 1: General Passenger Transport Provision
• Category 2: Specialist Passenger Transport Provision

Providers who apply for the Specialist category must demonstrate that they and their Drivers/Passenger Assistants have extensive prior experience dealing with challenging behaviours.
Providers can bid for either Category or for both Categories.
