Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council has completed the award stage of the procurement process for a project entitled "WBCS45 - St Crispins School," which involves providing home to school transport services. The procurement, classified under the industry category of transport services, spans a broad geographic area, with delivery locations including the entirety of the United Kingdom. Utilizing a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, the contract was awarded following the tender period ending on 23rd April 2025. The contract is scheduled from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with the Council announcing the award on 27th August 2025.

This tender offers an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport sector to expand their clientele and engage with public sector contracts. The procurement process was designed to support SME participation, as evidenced by Cedar Cars' successful bid. Businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those focusing on regional or school transport services, could find competitive grounds in similar future opportunities initiated by Wokingham Borough Council. With a contract value of £85,500, this presents a substantial revenue opportunity for suppliers capable of delivering high-quality services across multiple UK regions.
