Description
The London Borough of Bromley ("the Council") is inviting tenders for the provision of travel training for young people currently in receipt of Council funded and organised transport.
Travel training can be beneficial in enabling young people to gain independence skills and equality of access to public transport.

The successful provider will be required to commence travel training to the first cohort of young people identified as quickly as possible following contract award.
The contract will run for a period of 1 year with the option to extend for a period up to 1 year followed by a further period of up to but not exceeding 1 year. Indicative Contract is Value is approximately £90k per annum. Providers are required to have a minimum annual turnover of £180k.
