    Brief

    The Council is conducting pre-market engagement to shape a new Open Framework for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) transport services, commencing September 2027.

Services required include: taxi and wheelchair-accessible vehicles; minibus and coach services; passenger assistants; and ad hoc/contingency provision. The Council welcomes input on market readiness, service improvements, participation barriers, and framework design to develop a sustainable model that delivers safe, reliable, high-quality, and value-for-money transport for children and young people with SEND. Participation is voluntary and non-binding. Responses must be submitted by 5 November at 5pm via the Croydon e-Procurement Portal. Submissions will not be treated as confidential and may be disclosed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
