Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council successfully completed a procurement process for the contract titled "WBCSENOB308 - River Academy," focusing on Special Educational Needs (SEN) home to school transport services. This procurement fell under the industry category of transport services, excluding waste transport, and was conducted using a selective or restricted procedure method. The process was held in England, with crucial dates including the tender period ending on 10th July 2025 and the award being published on 14th July 2025. The contracted services are expected to commence on 1st September 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2026, with a contract value originally estimated at £85,500. However, the award was made for £22,040 to the supplier Alanis.

This opportunity provides significant growth potential for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating within the transport sector, especially those with a focus on educational transport services. The procurement's focus on SMEs makes it particularly advantageous for such businesses seeking to establish or expand their service offerings within public sector contracts. Engaging in this offering not only allows businesses to enhance their portfolio in the transport sector but also strengthens their reputation by providing essential services to local councils such as Wokingham Borough Council.
