Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "ESTATES RATES APPEALS" contract, focusing on services in the financial and insurance sector. The initiative, which began on the 1st of January 2025 and will run until the 31st of March 2027, is located in the United Kingdom. Falls under a direct procurement method below the threshold, this contract did not require competition, streamlining its selection process. It was part of an active contract award issued on 24th November 2025. The North Yorkshire Council, operating out of Northallerton, coordinated this under the legal framework defined by UK legislation 2023/54.
