Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has concluded a procurement process for providing school transport services in the Hambleton area, specifically from Northallerton to Breckenbrough School. This tender, titled "SPBB020/SCHOOL TRANSPORT/REQUEST FOR QUOTATION/HAMBLETON AREA/4 SEATS," falls under the services category within the transport industry. The process utilised a limited procurement method, targeting a below-threshold limited competition approach. The contract, awarded on 10th April 2026, ran from February to July 2026, with an option for renewal up to two more years. The awarded contract is valued at £32,830 net, with a gross value of £39,396 GBP.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of offering reliable school transportation solutions. Companies with a focus on providing service in the North Yorkshire region would find this type of contract beneficial for expanding their portfolio. The procurement method indicates a more accessible opportunity for smaller businesses due to the lower competition thresholds, aligning well with companies like IK Taxis, which successfully secured the contract as a small enterprise.
