Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described involves Wokingham Borough Council, which sought transport services under the project title "WBCSEN204 - Addington School." This tender focused on providing SEN (Special Educational Needs) home to school transport services within the United Kingdom. Classified under CPV code 60000000, the procurement pertains to the transport services industry, specifically excluding waste transport. This process has progressed to the award stage, with the award being made on 11th November 2025. The procurement utilised a selective method known as a restricted procedure, aiming to employ services from suitable suppliers. Key deadlines included the tender period ending on 10th November 2025, followed by the contract period, which runs from 17th November 2025 through to 31st July 2026.

This procurement opportunity provides significant potential for business growth, particularly suited to SMEs with capacities in transport services. The awarded contract, valued at £35,150, was granted to "ABC Travel," an SME, demonstrating the council's tendencies to engage smaller entities for this project. Companies with expertise in delivering specialised transport services, ensuring efficient and reliable operations, and adhering to standards for SEN requirements, would find substantial value in competing for contracts of this nature. Engaging with local authority projects like this can offer businesses a stable source of income and a foothold in public sector contracts.
