Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council awarded a contract to SJG Consultancy Ltd for an independent review of the transformation and savings plans prepared for SEND Transport.

The council's SEND Transport budget was significantly overspent, and an adjusted base budget had been agreed for 2021/22.

A SEND Transport Programme Board, chaired by the Director of Education, had developed service transformation and savings plans for implementation after public consultation.

The review aimed to provide assurance and identify further unexplored options to meet service user needs and realise additional savings.

The contract value was £27,000.
