In addition, the Council also provides transport to and from day centres for vulnerable adults who are covered under the Chronically Sick and Disabled Persons Act 1970 and 1986.

This is a contract award notice for the Summer Refresh 2025 call offs from the original DPS notice - 96182 Provision of Passenger Transport Services for Children & Adults - Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).
