Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project "WBCCOL33 Bracknell & Wokingham College" was led by Wokingham Borough Council, focusing on transport services within the United Kingdom. This tender, classified under the industry category of Transport services (excluding waste transport), completed its award stage on 21st April 2025. The contract will commence on the next day and is expected to conclude on 27th March 2026. Using a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure, the tender aimed to identify suitable suppliers by 20th March 2025.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for growth to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like School Express, which was ultimately awarded the contract amounting to £16,530. Businesses specialising in transport services can benefit from entering competitions like these, particularly those located in or servicing the Wokingham and Bracknell areas. The project's focus on home-to-college transport services provides a niche market for companies adept in managing and providing specialised transport solutions. The suitability for SMEs ensures that smaller companies have viable chances to compete and secure public sector contracts, fostering a business-friendly environment.
