Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has initiated a procurement process for school transport services under the contract titled "SPFO062 - SCHOOL TRANSPORT - REQUEST FOR AUOTATION - KNARESBOROUGH AREA - 8 SEATS." This project involves transport services from Cawood and Church Fenton to The Forest School, scheduled from April 2026 to April 2028. Located in Northallerton, United Kingdom, this procurement opportunity falls under the services category and employs a limited competition method, below the threshold, indicated as "complete" in the tender status. The award was issued on 31 March 2026, with the contract valued at £85,120 net, with options for modification before its termination on 13 April 2028.

This contract presents valuable opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those familiar with school transport logistics. Harrogate Private Hire Cars Ltd, classified as a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), was successfully awarded the contract, suggesting that other similar SMEs focused on transport services may be well-suited to compete in this region. The limited competition procurement method favours businesses capable of delivering qualitative services within specified constraints, fostering potential growth for SMEs willing to engage in local contracts with public authorities such as the North Yorkshire Council.
