About

London Borough of Camden Council awarded a contract to Action for Kids for independent travel training.

The service provides tailored and practical training to children and adults, enabling them to travel independently by public transport or on foot to education or day centres.

The training promotes independent life skills, self-esteem, and confidence.

Action for Kids' submission was selected for its strengths, including working with families and parents, offering an extensive toolkit, and basing training on the resident's perspective.

All travel trainers are trained to NVQ Level 3 Travel Training, an accredited training developed by Action for Kids.

The procurement fell under the light touch regime, using a one-stage process similar to the Open procedure.

As only one tender was received, the council entered into negotiation with the tenderer to further improve their submission.

The contract value is £255,189.8.
