Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has recently awarded a contract titled "646H/SCHOOL TRANSPORT/REQUEST FOR QUOTATION/HARROGATE AREA/4 SEATS" within the services category, specifically focusing on transport services excluding waste transport. The process was initiated as a limited competition below the threshold, resulting in Premier Taxis being selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £49,680 GBP excluding VAT, commenced on 6th January 2026 and is set to conclude on 27th February 2026, with the potential to renew for an additional two years. The service involves providing transport for school children from Rainton to Ripon Grammar School in the Harrogate area, North Yorkshire (UKE22).

This tender presents a ripe opportunity for small to medium enterprises, particularly those within the transport services sector, to collaborate with local government bodies. Businesses focusing on passenger transport services could leverage such contracts to expand their local footprint and secure longer-term engagements through possible contract renewals. With a defined service area and contract scope, companies with established channels in the Harrogate area or with the ability to efficiently expand their services can find significant growth potential in similar tenders issued by public authorities like The North Yorkshire Council.
