## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for children with special educational needs (SEN) under the requirement titled “Addington Early Years”. The service falls within transport services and is a services contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the council based at Civic Offices, Shute End, Wokingham, England. The requirement concerns transporting pupils between their homes and school, supporting access to early-years education for children with SEN. It is a council-led local authority service requirement, relevant to operators providing passenger transport for children and young people, including coach, minibus, taxi or other suitable home-to-school transport services, subject to the detailed operational requirements set for the route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. The tender closed on 8 September 2026 at 9:15am. The estimated procurement value was between £21,660 and £85,500, while the award value was £21,660. Wokingham Borough Council awarded the contract to Alanis Coach Travel on 8 September 2026. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. This is a single requirement rather than a multi-lot award. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the published outcome records Alanis Coach Travel as the selected supplier for the SEN home-to-school transport service.

This award provides a clear example of Wokingham Borough Council’s demand for dedicated SEN home-to-school transport and the scale of service it has commissioned from an SME supplier. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer would need to operate reliable passenger transport, understand the additional care and safeguarding considerations associated with transporting children with special educational needs, and organise consistent journeys between homes and school. Credible competitors would also need the operational capacity to provide the service across the required school period, manage route planning and daily reliability, and demonstrate that their vehicles, drivers and procedures are suitable for vulnerable passengers. Experience delivering school, community or other assisted passenger transport would be directly relevant when this requirement next reaches the market.
