Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Wokingham Borough Council for SEN home to school transport services at Knowl Hill School in Bisley has reached the award stage. This process falls under the transport services category, excluding waste transport, and is classified as a restricted procedure. The contract, valued at £85,500, had a tender period ending on 10th September 2025 and the contract period extends from 15th September 2025 to 31st July 2026. The location for service delivery is within the United Kingdom, focusing primarily on catering to the transport needs of special educational needs students.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the transport services industry, particularly those that specialise in service provision for educational institutions dealing with special needs. Given its selective procurement method, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like School Express, who are the awarded suppliers, have demonstrated that this process is accessible to smaller businesses capable of fulfilling such specific transport requirements. Companies with expertise in bespoke transport solutions, having the capacity to manage specific pick-up and drop-off schedules tailored to individual requirements, would find this tender an avenue for growth and market exploration in the public sector.
