## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Henley College. The requirement is a transport service for pupils travelling between home and the college, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as transport services. The buyer is Wokingham Borough Council, based in Wokingham. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. This summary describes the specific college transport requirement and its buyer, rather than general school transport services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to School Express. The award was made on 2 October 2026, for £17,748. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated procurement value was £17,748 to £85,500. Wokingham Borough Council used a restricted procedure, a selective process. The tender deadline was 29 September 2026 at 3pm. The service was procured as a single requirement for Henley College; no separate lots are recorded. The supplier has been selected, so the outcome is an award rather than an invitation to compete for this contract.

This award shows demand from Wokingham Borough Council for dedicated home-to-school transport serving pupils with special educational needs who attend Henley College. School Express, identified as an SME, was selected to deliver the service, indicating that a small or medium-sized transport provider can compete for this scale of requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the practical capacity to provide reliable school journeys for SEN pupils, and to organise suitable transport around the college’s attendance needs. Relevant experience in pupil transport and the ability to meet the council’s service requirements would be important. The route was a restricted procedure, so suppliers should also be prepared to qualify for a selective competition rather than assume an unrestricted tender.
