## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Walter Infants School’s SEND Resource. The requirement is a passenger transport service for children travelling between home and the school, rather than the purchase of vehicles or other goods. It falls within transport services and is classified under CPV 60000000. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the council acting as the buyer. The procurement is relevant to operators providing specialist or accessible school transport, including smaller transport businesses able to manage journeys for children with special educational needs. The requirement is specific to Walter Infants School’s SEND provision and sits within the council’s education transport activity.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Wokingham Borough Council used a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 11:00. The estimated procurement value was between £16,530 and £85,500 including the stated minimum and maximum values. The contract was awarded on 20 August 2026 to Alanis Coach Travel for £16,530. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The evaluation basis is associated with the restricted procedure and the requirement for SEN home-to-school transport.

This award provides a clear example of Wokingham Borough Council’s demand for dedicated SEN home-to-school transport linked to a named school resource. Businesses well placed for comparable work are established passenger transport operators, including SMEs, that can organise reliable school journeys for children with special educational needs. Relevant capability is the capacity to deliver the stated service consistently across the United Kingdom delivery area and to manage a contract covering the school-year operating period. The procurement route also shows that the council uses a restricted procedure, so future competitors would need to demonstrate sufficient suitability before being invited to submit a bid. The awarded supplier’s scale indicates that an SME can win this type of requirement.
