Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed the procurement process for a contract titled "SSNO303 - Has transport - Request for Quotation - Hambleton Area - 4 Seats". This contract pertains to the provision of a school transport service operating between Morton on Swale CRC and Carlton Miniott. It falls under the services category, specifically focusing on transport services as per CPV classification 60000000. The procurement strategy employed was a limited competition below the threshold, indicating a more restricted tendering approach. The procurement stage has reached completion, with the contract being active from 5th January 2025 to 31st December 2026, and the potential for renewal up to 5th January 2027. The transport service is intended to operate in the UKE22 region, encompassing Northallerton and Thirsk.

This tender presents opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services. The specific nature of the transport needs, a 4-seater service in a targeted geographical area, makes it ideal for local suppliers with a focus on school transportation. Businesses like K A Taxis Thirsk, which has already been awarded the contract, demonstrate that SMEs with a strong presence and capability in the specified transportation services are well-positioned to compete and thrive in such procurement exercises. The limited competition approach used for this tender can favour local businesses that can provide tailored, efficient, and reliable transport solutions.
