About

Ministry of Defence awarded a contract to Salford County Council for specialist hearing impairment (HI) and visual impairment (VI) support services for pupils in Defence Children Services (DCS) schools and settings worldwide.

The contract, valued at AUD 152,475, requires professionally qualified education professionals with specialist HI or VI qualifications and teaching qualifications to provide regular support, advice, and guidance to children and young people with sensory difficulties, their parents, and teaching staff.

The service aims to ensure these pupils can access high-quality inclusive education alongside their peers, reach their educational potential, and are not disadvantaged from their time abroad.

The provider must demonstrate a flexible response to variable need across global locations, as the number of pupils with such needs fluctuates due to the mobile nature of the MOD population, with up to 15 pupils across MOD schools.
