## Summary

The procurement process, facilitated by Wokingham Borough Council, focuses on providing Special Educational Needs (SEN) home to school transport services, titled "WBCSENOB344 - Arbour Vale School." This falls under the transport services industry classification, excluding waste transport. The contract location is specified as the United Kingdom, and the procurement has reached the award stage as of 12 May 2026. A selective procurement method was used, implying a restricted procedure. The tender process concluded on 11 May 2026, with the contract running from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The minimum value of the tender was £23,560, with the awarded value reaching £85,500.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those adept at accommodating the specific needs of SEN transport. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly suited to compete, as demonstrated by the award to Alanis CoachTravel, an SME supplier. This sector requires expertise in logistical coordination and compliance with regulations pertinent to special educational needs. The structured selective procurement process indicates that businesses experienced in navigating competitive, restricted tenders would benefit from participating in such opportunities provided by the council.
