Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by The North Yorkshire Council, pertains to school transport services under the contract titled "SP06035/SCHOOL TRANSPORT/REQUEST FOR QUOTATION/OUT OF COUNTY/4 SEATS". The project involves transportation from Seamer to Kip McGrath in Darlington and spans March to July 2026. This process falls under the services category with a primary focus on transportation services, and it adheres to a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold status. The contract has reached the award stage as of 22 April 2026, and was signed on 23 March 2026, indicating a complete status. The contract, valued at £43,500 net (£52,200 gross), offers the potential for renewal, extending up to July 2028. It is situated in Northallerton, United Kingdom, within the region of UKE22. The supplier awarded for this contract is RM Taxis, a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Thirsk.

Businesses involved in transport services, especially those in the North Yorkshire or UKE22 area, stand to benefit from this contract opportunity. SMEs like RM Taxis can leverage such contracts to expand their customer base and establish long-term relations with local authorities. The limited procurement method employed points to a less competitive environment, potentially favouring smaller businesses with the capacity to meet specific regional needs efficiently. With possibilities for contract renewal and modifications, enterprises can aim for sustained growth and increased visibility within the public sector through efficient and reliable service delivery.
