Summary of the contracting process

The City of York Council is seeking proposals for the provision of home-to-school bus services within the Yorkshire and the Humber region, specifically involving Fulford School, various routes, and Tadcaster Grammar School. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, with an open procedure allowing for competitive bidding. The total contract value is estimated at £7,000,000. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 7th April 2025, and the contract period extending from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2030. The classification of the procurement falls under Transport services, excluding waste transport, with an additional focus on public road transport services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transportation services, particularly those with experience in public road transport. The scale and long duration of the contract can provide stable and substantial revenue streams over five years. Companies with a solid track record of reliability and capability in managing extensive bus routes will find this tender particularly fitting. While the tender is open to all, it does not specify a preference for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a competitive opportunity for well-established transportation firms to expand their operations in the Yorkshire and the Humber region.
