Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council, a sub-central government public authority, has concluded the procurement process for "R0943/SCHOOL TRANSPORT/REQUEST FOR QUOTATION/CRAVEN AREA/4 SEATS." This tender, categorised under transport services, specifically involved school transport from Long Preston to South Craven Baptist Church. The procurement process utilised a limited competition method, identified as "below threshold," and is in the award stage. The procurement process has been completed, with the contract signed on 21st October 2025, and it is set to be active from that same date until 13th February 2026, with potential extensions through renewals until February 2028. The contract has a gross value of £13,104 and relates to location-specific services in North Yorkshire, UKE22.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those equipped to handle school transportation contracts. With Silsden & Steeton Private Hire, an SME located in Keighley, being awarded the contract, it highlights the potential for similar sized organisations to secure public contracts. Companies experienced in providing regional transport solutions can leverage this as a model for meeting the precise needs of such contracts, especially within the transport category beneath the threshold, where competition might be limited, making it accessible for well-prepared SMEs.
