Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The North Yorkshire Council, located at County Hall in Northallerton, focuses on the transport sector within the Knaresborough area. The opportunity, titled "SSSC550 - HAS TRANSPORT - REQUEST FOR QUOTATION," involves providing transport services for Cherry Tree Lodge in Scarborough to The Forrest School, Starbeck, and Springwater School in Knaresborough, offering four seats. The tender, identified as contract SSSC550, commenced on 5th February 2026, with an operational period until 31st August 2026, having the possibility of renewal extending to 2028. It involves a limited competition procurement method due to its below-threshold status, with a gross contract value of £130,272, signed on 5th February 2026. Inter Yorks LTD, a small to medium-sized enterprise located in Pudsey, was awarded the contract on 24th March 2026, focusing on services within the transportation category.

This tender offers a valuable opportunity for businesses within the transport services industry, particularly those specialising in contractual school transport services. With an emphasis on limited competition, businesses specialising in fleet management or bespoke transport solutions in Northern England, particularly in Yorkshire, may find value in pursuing similar opportunities. The North Yorkshire Council's procurement process aligns well with smaller enterprises like Inter Yorks LTD that can offer competitive services tailored to the specific needs of regional transport, thereby enabling growth and development within this niche market. Moreover, the potential for contract renewal adds further incentive for businesses to expand their service offerings and establish long-term connections with local authorities.
