Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for All Saints School. This is a passenger transport service for pupils travelling between home and school. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific operating area is identified. The requirement is focused on transport for one named school rather than a general school transport service. The buyer is Wokingham Borough Council, based in Wokingham, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a restricted procedure. The submission deadline was 30 September 2026. Wokingham Borough Council selected School Express, a small or medium-sized enterprise, on 2 October 2026. The award value is £18,096, against an estimated procurement range of £18,096 to £85,500. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The available information identifies the service and award outcome but does not set out specific eligibility thresholds or evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from Wokingham Borough Council for SEN home-to-school transport serving All Saints School. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to show it can deliver pupil transport reliably for a defined school route or set of journeys, with the operational capacity to meet the needs of children with special educational needs. The award went to a small or medium-sized transport supplier, indicating that a provider of this scale was able to win the work. The requirement is specifically school transport, so relevant experience in arranging and delivering pupil journeys would be directly applicable; general passenger transport capability alone may not establish suitability for this service.
