Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council procured SEN home-to-school transport for Beaumont Park School. The requirement is a passenger transport service supporting children with special educational needs travelling between home and school. It falls within transport services, excluding waste transport, and is classified under CPV 60000000. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for the council’s education transport service. The contracting authority is Wokingham Borough Council, based at the Civic Offices in Wokingham. This opportunity is relevant to passenger transport operators, coach and minibus businesses, and specialist providers able to organise reliable school journeys for children with special educational needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. Bids closed on 17 September 2026 at 10:30. The estimated overall value was £30,780 to £85,500, with the award made at £30,780. Wokingham Borough Council awarded the contract to Alanis Coach Travel on 18 September 2026. The contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The opportunity was treated as a service contract and identified as suitable for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, but not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear example of Wokingham Borough Council’s demand for dedicated SEN home-to-school transport linked to an identified school. Businesses considering comparable future work would need the operational capability to provide safe, dependable passenger transport for children with special educational needs, coordinate journeys between homes and school, and maintain consistent service throughout the school period. The successful supplier was a small business, showing that delivery can be undertaken by a focused transport operator rather than only a large national provider. Relevant competitors are likely to include coach, minibus and specialist school-transport businesses with suitable vehicles, trained staff, robust scheduling and experience managing sensitive passenger journeys.
