Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Kennet School. The requirement is a passenger transport service for school journeys, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as a service and relates to transport services. The named school gives the requirement a specific destination and focus: suppliers need to provide transport supporting pupils with special educational needs travelling to and from Kennet School. This is a council requirement rather than a general school transport service, and its relevance is strongest for operators able to deliver pupil transport for this school and buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Golden Aura. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the awarded value is £26,544. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The original estimated value range was £26,544 to £85,500. Wokingham Borough Council used a restricted procedure, a selective competition in which participation is limited to selected candidates. The tender submission deadline was 24 September 2026 at 10:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details.

The award shows that Wokingham Borough Council buys school transport tailored to pupils with special educational needs at Kennet School, and that a small or medium-sized supplier can be selected for this requirement. Golden Aura was the successful supplier, demonstrating that the council’s transport need was met through a specialist operator rather than a general goods or works contractor. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the operational ability to provide reliable home-to-school journeys for SEN pupils, including the capacity to serve the school and its transport needs. Experience delivering comparable pupil transport would help establish fit with this focused service. The council used a restricted competition, so suppliers should also be prepared for a selective procurement route rather than assuming an unrestricted tender.」 રહી સ્માત} 博金 final 代 ҳәоjson?
