Wokingham Borough Council has awarded a tender titled "850 Bus Service - Evening Journeys" under the industry category of Transport Services (excluding Waste Transport). This procurement process focuses on adding 4 additional journeys to bus route 850 and was executed through a selective, negotiated procedure.

Companies adept in negotiating procedures would be particularly well-positioned for similar future procurements.
