North Yorkshire and Out of County Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Transport Services

North Yorkshire County Council are seeking to award a contract for the provision of a Passenger Transport System. The councils Passenger Transport and Home to School Transport Teams use an in-house developed system (PARIS) to support much of the work they do. This was built over 20 years ago using Oracle development tools and has been continually developed during that time; however, it is becoming increasingly difficult to support and further develop for a number of different reasons. The Authority has many corporate systems in place covering centralised management of related functions (e.g. finance, schools and customer portal), and we would expect the new solution to support interaction with these systems rather than providing duplicate functionality.

The Home from Hospital service (the Service) will support safe and timely hospital discharges across North Yorkshire. The Service will prioritise support to Pathway 0 and Pathway 1 discharges, with support to Pathway 2 discharges (those returning home following time in an intermediate care bed) as capacity allow The Service will provide short term person-centred practical help and support co-ordination, to people aged 18 or over, who are leaving or have recently left hospital. This shall include those having day procedures or from A&E.
