The submission route named on the official notice.
The SEN Transport Team at WYCA is responsible for commissioning and overseeing Home to School transport contracts with taxi and minibus operators for children and young people with special education needs and disabilities on behalf of Wakefield Council.
The CA is implementing this DPS in order to approve suppliers to bid on these contracts.
In the past the contracts have been operated off an approved list and this DPS will work in a similar way by streamlining the process, making it easier to manage and less labour intensive for both the teams at WYCA and operators to bid against contracts.
