## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council recently completed a procurement process titled "WBCSENOB321 - Aurora Poppyfield School," focusing on SEN home-to-school transport services. The process, classified under the transport services industry category (excluding waste transport), was conducted using a selective, restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 6th October 2025, with the award made active on 7th October 2025. The contract is set to commence on 13th October 2025 and will run until 31st July 2026, primarily serving locations within the United Kingdom. The minimum tender value was set at £24,700, with the final award amounting to £85,500.

This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of providing reliable transport services tailored for SEN students. Given its focus on service capabilities rather than size, small businesses with efficient logistics and a focus on community transport services could find this business opportunity lucrative. The awarded supplier, ACE Wheelchair, reflects the potential for businesses that specialise in accessible transport solutions to thrive in similar tenders, thereby facilitating business growth within the local government sector.
