Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has concluded a procurement process for school transport services, specifically for contract SPFE730, which involves transporting students from Cowling to The Alternative School - Woodlands Site, providing four seats from November 2025 to July 2026. This procurement is classified under the services category with a legal basis tied to UKPGA 2023/54. The procurement method was limited, signifying a below-threshold limited competition, and the stage is categorised as complete. The award was made to S H Travel Service Ltd, a supplier based in Keighley. Key dates include the contract signing on 4th November 2025, with potential renewals extending the contract till July 2028. The contract value stands at £31,920, excluding VAT.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs specialising in transport services. Organisations capable of offering competitive services within the transport industry, especially those based around North Yorkshire, will find such opportunities advantageous. Given the limited competition procurement method, smaller firms with niche service capabilities and effective local knowledge may enjoy an advantageous position. The opportunity for contract renewal further enhances the potential for sustained business growth and continuity within the public sector sphere.
