The brief

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council (the Council) is seeking a lead provider to deliver and operate the whole of its passenger transport service (core services) as follows: (a) Home to School Transport for Children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, (b) Transport for Supervised contact visits for families and Transport for Disabled Children Respite Care, (c) Adults with Learning Disabilities Transport and (d) Dial-a-ride Transport.

The core services maximum budget is £1.8m per annum to deliver the core services.

Further details are set out in the Services Specification published with the tender documents.
