PCC/PD/239a - Provider to deliver courses set by the National Offending Re-Training Schemes (NDORS)

Tender description

The PCC&CC for Merseyside wishes to outsource the provision of diversionary courses set by the National Driver Offending Re-Training schemes (NDORS). The NDORS scheme is unique to the UK and was developed as an alternative to penalty points and fines. The scheme allows motorists who have committed a minor offence to have education with the aim of improving the driver or rider's knowledge and behaviour whilst on the road. A motorist has no automatic right to a course irrespective of how minor the offence is. At the discretion of the local Chief Constable, an offending motorist may be offered the opportunity to attend a course focusing on re-education designed to achieve greater compliance with Road Traffic legislation. Nobody has the absolute right to a course. The alternative is a fine and, where applicable, penalty points.
