Description

The London Borough of Camden ('the Authority') is seeking to award a contract for the provision of an Independent Travel Training (ITT) service.
ITT is a free tailored and practical service that offers children and adults a set of essential skills, enabling them to travel independently, without fear by public travel or on foot to a place of education. The training will promote independent life skills, improve self-esteem and confidence, reduce social isolation and empower residents to make regular journeys in the community safely. Once this skill is learnt, it could be used further by the SU to travel to another choice of location such as a place of employment or leisure. This will encourage SU to be less reliant on council services, parents and carers to take them to places and can lead to more opportunities to take part in social and community activities.
The contract will be for an initial period of 1 year commencing on 1st November 2023 with the option of 1 extension for an additional 12 months.
