Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured transport services for pupils attending Baytree School’s Clevedon Campus, covering two lots for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is classified as transport services and falls within the services category. Delivery is associated with the Baytree School Clevedon Campus in Clevedon, with the wider service area stated as England. The council is the buying organisation. The work is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators and specialist school transport providers able to support SEND journeys. It concerns contracted transport provision for a school setting rather than vehicle supply, construction or general education services. The procurement was divided between Lot 1 and Lot 2, although the available outcome records the award across the two lots rather than describing their individual scopes.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 1pm, and the award was made on 17 August 2026. Travelbillity was selected as supplier for £84,900. The awarded contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The published procurement value is also £84,900. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement covered two lots, Lot 1 and Lot 2, under one Baytree School SEND transport requirement. The recorded outcome shows one active award to Travelbillity. The process was evaluated through the restricted procedure, with the available procurement information not setting out separate quality or price weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from North Somerset Council for SEND school transport connected with Baytree School’s Clevedon Campus. It is commercially relevant to established passenger transport businesses, school transport specialists and smaller operators that can provide dependable, appropriately managed journeys for pupils with additional needs. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity across the relevant lots, suitable vehicles and drivers for the service required, strong safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and the ability to deliver consistently in a school environment. Experience of council or education transport contracts would help demonstrate reliability, compliance and service management. Providers should also be able to price and administer a multi-year local authority transport service at comparable scale.
