## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured SEN home-to-school transport for Christ The King Primary School. The requirement is a passenger transport service supporting children with special educational needs travelling between home and school. It is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000), and falls within public services procurement. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buyer based at Civic Offices, Shute End, Wokingham. The council is the organisation commissioning and funding the service. This opportunity is relevant to transport operators, school transport providers and specialist passenger services businesses able to organise and deliver regular journeys for children with additional needs. The procurement concerns a single school requirement rather than a general transport framework or wider council-wide service.

The procurement has been awarded following a restricted procedure, using a selective procurement method. The tender completed on 22 September 2026, and the contract was awarded on the same date to School Express. The award value is £18,240, within the tender’s estimated range of £18,240 to £85,500. The awarded contract runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Wokingham Borough Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active and covers the SEN home-to-school transport requirement for Christ The King Primary School. The published procurement data records one awarded supplier, with no separate lots or additional awards. The process has therefore moved beyond tendering and supplier selection.

For transport businesses that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear example of demand from Wokingham Borough Council for dedicated special educational needs school transport. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable passenger transport for children travelling between home and a primary school, with the operational capacity to deliver the service throughout the school term. Relevant businesses include local and regional school transport operators, accessible transport providers and smaller firms able to manage consistent education journeys. The council’s use of a restricted procedure shows that suppliers may need to pass an initial selection stage before submitting a tender. Experience delivering dependable school transport and managing safeguarding-sensitive passenger services would help a supplier demonstrate credibility when a similar requirement returns.
