Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Somerset Council procured transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) at Baytree School’s WSM campus. The requirement covers two lots, identified as Lot 1 and Lot 2, for school transport rather than goods, construction or general facilities management. Delivery is in England, with the buying organisation based at Castlewood, Clevedon. Businesses relevant to this opportunity include operators providing planned passenger transport for schools, particularly those able to support SEND pupils and the practical requirements of campus-based routes. The procurement concerns a specific school transport requirement for Baytree School and is intended to support the movement of pupils connected with the WSM campus.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 1pm, and the award was made on 17 August 2026. Travelbillity LTD was selected as the supplier for the requirement, with an awarded value of £151,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2030. The tender was structured across two lots, Lot 1 and Lot 2, covering Baytree School WSM Campus SEND transport. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The awarded value is reported for the procurement as a whole, rather than separately for each lot.

This award provides a clear example of North Somerset Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport at Baytree School’s WSM campus. A credible future competitor would need to operate passenger transport services suitable for regular school journeys and understand the additional care, communication, safeguarding and reliability requirements associated with transporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller transport operators with the right vehicles, drivers, operational controls and capacity may be relevant alongside larger providers. Businesses should assess whether they can manage school-focused routes consistently, coordinate with the council and school, and deliver a dependable service across two related lots without compromising pupil welfare or punctuality.
