Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "WBCSENOB303 - The Avenue School," overseen by Wokingham Borough Council, is focused on providing special educational needs (SEN) home to school transport services. Classified under the Transport services category (CPV: 60000000), this contract is located in the United Kingdom and has recently moved to the Award stage as of 31st July 2025. The procurement utilised a selective method through a restricted procedure. The contract period is set to begin on 1st September 2025 and end on 31st July 2026, with an anticipated value of £85,500. The procurement was well-suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

This tender can offer significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly for SMEs specialising in logistical and educational transport solutions. The completion of this process, with a focus on school transport for SEN, highlights a growing niche market where specialised providers can expand their operations through public sector contracts. Firms with expertise in safe, secure, and punctual transport services aligned with regulatory requirements would be well-positioned to compete and potentially benefit from future contract opportunities with public institutions such as Wokingham Borough Council.
