We have had notification from East Lothian Council that this school year is the last of the present 4 year tender and as such the new contracts will be put out to tender this week. These will be evaluated and awarded early May to allow start in August.
The Tender will be split in 2 this year as follows and all current contractors will cease operation of the routes on the final day of term:
- Mainstream will be for 4 years
- Additional support Needs will be for 6 years
Please note that this may mean that contractors may change.
Mainstream Parents need take no action as all pupils currently being transported will automatically be renewed.
Parents of pupils with additional support needs who require transport must complete the form attached and complete a Transport Passport attached as per the guidelines below:
- The travel passport should be completed and once completed placed in the pupils school bag with their diary.
- The travel passport should be discussed by the parents/carer and the driver and escort.
- The travel passport should be updated regularly with any changes and brought to the attention of the driver and escort.
The return date for forms is 1 May 2013.
Further details and assistance are available from the School.
