Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a public procurement process for school transport services in the Richmond area, specifically for contract 521R, which calls for a 4-seat transportation solution between Hardraw and Hawes CP School. This contract falls under the services category, specifically transport services excluding waste transport. It covers the period from April 2026 to April 2028, with the option for renewal. The procurement was conducted through a limited competition method, suitable for contracts below the financial threshold. The award was finalised and signed on 13th April 2026, and the total value of the contract is £182,400 GBP gross.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services to engage with public authorities like The North Yorkshire Council. The contract was awarded to The Upper Dales Community Partnership (UDCP) Limited, indicating that businesses with an established presence and operational capacity within the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKE22 region, are well-positioned to compete. The project offers SMEs a foothold in the public sector transport services market, allowing them to expand their operations and potentially secure further contracts within this sphere.
