## Summary

Wokingham Borough Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for pupils with special educational needs, under the requirement titled “Riverview House School, Acorn New Barn”. The service falls within transport services and concerns transporting pupils between their home locations and Riverview House School. The buying organisation is Wokingham Borough Council, based at the Civic Offices in Wokingham, England. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general education contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include school transport operators, coach and minibus companies, and specialist passenger transport providers with the operational capability to deliver regular journeys for children with special educational needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a restricted procedure. Alanis Coach Travel was selected on 18 September 2026 for an award of £22,040. The awarded contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The wider procurement was valued between £22,040 and £85,500, with the award representing the lower stated value. The tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 12:45. The requirement was classified as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Evaluation resulted in one active award to the named supplier; the published outcome does not state a separate quality or price weighting.

This award provides evidence of Wokingham Borough Council’s demand for dedicated home-to-school transport connected with Riverview House School and pupils with special educational needs. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate reliable passenger transport services, plan and maintain regular school journeys, and demonstrate the capacity to serve children safely and consistently throughout the school term. The successful supplier was an SME, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused small or medium-sized transport business rather than only by a large national operator. Relevant experience in education transport and a disciplined service operation would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
