## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Queensmead School. The requirement is a transport service for journeys between home and school, rather than a purchase of vehicles or general school transport. The stated delivery location is the United Kingdom; no more specific destination is identified. The procurement is categorised as a service, with transport services as its main classification. This is a council requirement focused on supporting pupils with special educational needs to travel to school. The named school gives the requirement a specific destination, while the service description identifies the transport purpose.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to School Express. Wokingham Borough Council used a restricted procedure. The tender deadline was 8 October 2026, and the award was made on 9 October 2026. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The estimated procurement value ranged from £16,536 to £85,500; the awarded value is £16,536. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No lots or detailed evaluation criteria are recorded, so the published information does not establish how bids were scored.

This award confirms demand from Wokingham Borough Council for dedicated home-to-school transport for pupils with special educational needs at Queensmead School. School Express, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, was selected for the requirement. Suppliers seeking to compete when this specific service is next procured would need to demonstrate that they can reliably deliver the required school journeys for pupils with special educational needs. The scale indicated by the award is that of a defined school transport service, rather than a borough-wide transport programme. Experience in comparable SEN school transport would therefore be relevant evidence of fit, although the procurement information does not describe particular vehicle, staffing, safeguarding or accreditation requirements.
