Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council commissioned special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Millside School. This is a passenger transport service for pupils travelling between home and school, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement is for a named school rather than general transport provision.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Alanis Coach Travel, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the awarded value is £12,096. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The process used a restricted procedure, with submissions due by 24 September 2026. The tender’s estimated value range was £12,096 to £85,500. The procurement is classified as a service and is marked suitable for SMEs.

This award demonstrates demand from Wokingham Borough Council for SEN home-to-school transport to Millside School. A coach travel business was selected, and the opportunity was marked suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller operators can be relevant to this type of requirement. Suppliers considering similar work for this buyer should be able to provide pupil transport between home and school and operate at the scale of a school-specific service. The contract period provides a reference point for the duration of this requirement, but the award does not establish whether or when the council will procure it again.
