Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "SPVH016 - School Transport - Request for Quotation - Harrogate Area - 4 seats." This contract, which falls under the transport services industry, specifically for school transport, covers services between Thirsk and Veloheads with a capacity of four passenger seats. The procurement method was limited competition, aimed at below-threshold procurements, and the procurement stage has progressed to the award phase. The contract was signed on 4th November 2025, with services commencing from this date and concluding on 26th June 2026. Located in the Harrogate area, the procurement process complies with the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) like Bens Apple Cars Ltd T/A Metro Go, the supplier selected for this contract. The demand for transportation services in public sectors like school transport can be a stable source of recurring revenue, especially with the possibility of contract renewals extending up to 2028. Companies specialising in transport services within the United Kingdom, particularly those with capacity to manage small-scale passenger transport, would be ideally positioned to compete for similar opportunities in the future. Additionally, businesses adept in dealing with public authority contracts and familiar with limited competition procurement methods could leverage such contracts for sustained business growth.
