Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Bramley Hill School. The requirement falls within transport services, covering the movement of pupils between home and school rather than general passenger transport or waste transport. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based at Civic Offices, Shute End, Wokingham. This is a services contract and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is specific to supporting school journeys for children with special educational needs, so relevant operators are those able to provide dependable, appropriately managed pupil transport for the school community and the associated home-to-school routes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a restricted procedure, using a selective procurement method. The tender deadline was 18 August 2026 at 9:30am, and the award was made on 20 August 2026. Alanis Coach Travel was selected for a contract valued at £31,540. The wider estimated procurement value was £85,500, with a minimum estimated value of £31,540. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Wokingham Borough Council is the buyer. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier; no separate lot structure or detailed scoring basis is stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for operators specialising in SEN home-to-school transport for Bramley Hill School, with a small-business supplier selected. Businesses competing when this requirement returns would need reliable vehicles, drivers and operational arrangements suited to transporting pupils with special educational needs safely and consistently. Credible suppliers should be able to plan and manage regular school journeys, maintain dependable service levels, and meet safeguarding and passenger-care expectations associated with school transport. Experience delivering education, assisted or specialist passenger transport would help demonstrate suitability. The use of a restricted procedure also indicates that suppliers may need to pass an initial selection stage before being invited to submit a tender, so documented capability and relevant operating experience would be important.
