Wokingham Borough Council · Tender notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 26 Sept 2026, 14:12.

Opportunity overview

The Council is tendering a contract for Local Bus Services, for 21 bus services and bus links to improve access for local communities across the borough. These services are intended to connect residents to key local services where the existing local bus network does not fully meet local transport needs. The services are organised into Lots based on either: • the area in which the services operate; or • the type of service being provided. The tendered services represent approximately half of the registered local bus services in the borough. Many are a retender of existing supported services. However, some Lots include service enhancements, new services or amendments to existing services. The tender includes a range of service types, including: • local link town services connecting residential areas with local amenities; • enhancements to otherwise commercial services; • a small number of local shopper services serving more rural areas; and • selected school services.
