## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Addington School. The requirement is a transport service for school journeys, within the broader passenger transport services category. The delivery location is identified only as the United Kingdom, so a more precise route or operating area cannot be established from the published requirement. This is a council service focused on getting pupils with special educational needs to and from school. The available description does not set out vehicle, route, passenger-assistance or journey-frequency requirements, so suppliers should treat the stated scope as school transport rather than infer a particular operating model.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to School Express. The award date was 22 October 2026, and the award value is £26,544. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender’s estimated value range was £26,544 to £85,500. Wokingham Borough Council used a restricted procedure, a selective procurement method. The tender deadline was 13 October 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was presented as a single school transport contract, rather than as separate lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. No award evaluation criteria are stated in the available procurement details.

This award shows that Wokingham Borough Council buys SEN home-to-school transport for Addington School, and that a small or medium-sized supplier can win this type of requirement. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate that it can deliver dependable school journeys for pupils with special educational needs, with the operational capacity to cover the required service throughout a school-term contract. The description does not establish particular vehicle specifications, passenger-assistance duties, route arrangements or accreditations, so those should not be assumed to be conditions of this award. The restricted procedure indicates a selective route to market; suppliers tracking similar council work should be prepared to demonstrate relevant transport capability and service reliability when qualifying for a competition of this kind.
