Provision of a Community Transport Service for Vulnerable Older People in Kensington & Chelsea and Westminster

About

capitalEsourcing awarded a contract to Westway CT Trading for the provision of a Community Transport Service aimed at enabling vulnerable older people to participate in their local community through flexible transport options, leisure opportunities, and assistance with necessary tasks such as shopping, thereby tackling social isolation in the bi-borough.

The contract, valued at £509,944, was awarded without a tendering exercise due to the COVID-19 pandemic redirecting commissioner priorities to ensure continued support for vulnerable residents.

The contract is for an initial period of 18 months, with an option to extend for a further 6 months, during which services will be redesigned in response to pandemic-related changes, and a full market engagement will be conducted to stimulate innovation and flexibility in future service design and delivery.
