Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has concluded the procurement process titled "319S/SCHOOL TRANSPORT/REQUEST FOR QUOTATION/SCARBOROUGH AREA/8 SEATS." This award, made on 15 April 2026, pertains to transport services involving school transportation across Ugthorpe – Goldsborough and Mickleby to Lythe Primary School, covering the period from April 2026 to March 2027. The procurement method employed was limited competition, specifically below threshold, with CHANDOS MINI COACHES securing the contract to provide services with an estimated value of £159,840 gross. The buying organisation operates from Northallerton in the UK region UKE22, and the awarded services shall be delivered within the United Kingdom, specifically focusing on the region UKE2.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the transport services industry, particularly those capable of providing seat-based transportation solutions for schools. With the focus on a limited competition process, small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport domain are well-positioned to benefit from such contracts, owing to the manageable size and specific nature of the agreements. Companies with experience in non-waste transportation services can leverage their expertise to bid for similar contracts, thereby expanding their portfolio and potentially increasing their footprint within sub-central government transportation projects.
