## Summary

West Berkshire Council initiated a procurement process to replace its Home to School Transport (HTST) Management System with a new software solution focused on social care and client transport. Located in Newbury, United Kingdom, the council planned and launched a competitive flexible procurement procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The tender, initially published in July 2025, sought a comprehensive solution to fulfil transport service needs. Although it proceeded through the planning and active stages, the procurement was terminated in October 2025 after all received tenders were deemed unsuitable due to unmet essential requirements or budget constraints.

This tender initially posed an opportunity for software and IT service providers, particularly those specialising in transport management and industry-specific solutions, to engage with a public sector client like West Berkshire Council. The tender required SMEs and VCSEs to demonstrate robust solutions through competitive assessment, including a demonstration phase for top contenders. While no contract was awarded this time, understanding the council's needs and processes could benefit businesses aiming to secure future contracts in the service and transport software sectors.

## Notice

The Transport Services team are looking to procure a database system which supports all route requirements for the management of social care and home to school transport (client transport).
