Oldham Council intends to create a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) from home to school

the academic year.
The SEND Travel Assistance Service currently transports approximately 800 pupils with
either special educational needs, disabilities or because of their mobility issues. There are
approx. 2500 children and young people with EHCPs in the borough and circa 8,000
children and young people 0-25 years on SEN Support equating to one in ten in the borough.
The service operates over 190 school days as determined by the School Holiday Calendar
