Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed the procurement process for "SSHA706 - Has Transport - Request for Quotation - Harrogate Area - 4 Seats", aimed at providing children's social care transport services in the Harrogate area, specifically for routes involving The Forest School, Knaresborough, and Nidderdale CRC, Harrogate. This contracting process was conducted under a limited procurement method due to being below the threshold, indicating a restricted competition. The award was successfully completed on 8th January 2026, and the contract commenced on 11th December 2025, scheduled to run until 29th March 2026, with an option for renewal. The buyer, North Yorkshire Council, based in Northallerton, operates as a sub-central government authority within the United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those capable of offering efficient and reliable transportation for social care purposes. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs), like the awarded supplier Link Cars Private Hire, are well-suited to compete in such tenders, especially with limited competition procurement methods that favour localised and niche service provision. Enterprises with operations or the ability to extend services within the North Yorkshire region can leverage this contract type to strengthen their presence in the public sector transport services market, thereby fostering growth and expansion.
