Please note, the Tender Notice in relation to this procurement opportunity has been published with an OCID reference number not linked this notice. As a result of developments and discussions in relation to this procurement since the publication of this Pipeline Notice, information contained within this notice regarding the procedure type is now incorrect and an Open Framework will be established instead of a Dynamic Market. It was not possible to amend the procedure type in the Pipeline Notice so we were unable to link the OCID reference relating to this notice with the Tender Notice. The details of the Tender Notice in relation to this Pipeline Notice are shown below - Tender Education Transport Bracknell Forest Borough Council UK4: Tender notice - Procurement Act 2023 Notice identifier: 2026/S 000-042124 Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-0693cd Published 7 May 2026, 4:23pm Also changed in this notice are the estimated contract start and end dates, as well as the estimated end date following the optional extension period.

Bracknell Forest Council intends to create a new Dynamic Market for the provision of Home to School Transport for children and young people with SEND needs within the Bracknell Forest geographical area. Whilst not subject to the Light Touch Regime, interested parties should note that similar standards will be applied in respect of passenger safety and driver standard checks, due to the service users consisting of vulnerable young people. The Council is currently considering the precise service model, and the application of Lots, structure of routes and operational model may change prior to the publication of the tender, therefore the Council is unable to define Lots, if any, at this time. Interested parties should not consider the current structure to be indicative at this time, as this is part of the redesign considerations. The Council intends to commence pre-market engagement and consultation in early 2026 to support this redesign and involve potential contractors, prior to commencing the tender process in Spring 2026.
