## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured special educational needs (SEN) home-to-school transport for Mile House Therapeutic School. The requirement is a transport service for pupils travelling between home and the school, delivered in the United Kingdom. The procurement is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and falls within the services category. The named buying organisation is Wokingham Borough Council, based at Civic Offices, Shute End, Wokingham, England. The requirement is specifically linked to a therapeutic school, so relevant operators are those able to provide dependable, appropriately managed pupil transport for children and young people with special educational needs. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as a suitable organisation type.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective restricted procedure. Bids were due by 21 September 2026 at 12:15. The estimated procurement value was between £23,940 and £85,500. The contract was awarded on 22 September 2026 to Alanis Coach Travel for £23,940. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award is active and covers the same SEN home-to-school transport requirement for Mile House Therapeutic School. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded value. The process therefore records a completed competitive route, with the selected supplier appointed for the stated contract period and the award value at the lower end of the estimated range.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport serving a therapeutic school and shows that the buyer is willing to use a restricted procurement route for this type of service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate safe, dependable and well-managed home-to-school transport, with the operational capacity to provide regular pupil journeys throughout the service period. Relevant strengths would include experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs, suitable vehicles, appropriately trained drivers and robust safeguarding, attendance and contingency arrangements. The award to an SME indicates that the service can be delivered by a smaller transport operator, rather than requiring the scale of a national coach business. Operators with local coverage around Wokingham and the ability to manage education transport contracts would be well placed.
