A report by the Acting Director of Children’s Services informed the Cabinet that Wirral Council transports vulnerable adults to day centres, placements and educational provision.  The transportation was provided through an in-house fleet, contracted services from external transport providers and additional commissioned transport as required.  The report sought approval to extend twelve adult transport contracts for a further year from 1 August 2012 to 31 July 2013 at an estimated cost of £563,113.

RESOLVED:

That the extension of the current contract for a further year from 1 August 2012 to 31 July 2013 be approved.
