Published requirement description

AWARD OF CONTRACT

This is an opportunity to support Stockport SEN Travel Coordination Service with the

provision of independent travel training to young people with Special Educational Needs and

Disabilities (SEND). Young people with SEND may need extra help or support because of a

range of needs, such as understanding, physical or sensory, emotional or behavioural

difficulties or difficulties with speech and language. The young people who will typically be

offered independent travel training will be considered to have ‘Moderate Learning

Difficulties’. They may or may not receive their education in a Special School.

Published award criteria (2)
  • QUALITY: 80
  • Price: 20
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 20 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 2 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
