The North Yorkshire Council has successfully completed the procurement process for school transport services within the Harrogate area. The contract, labelled SPFM065, involves providing transport from Brompton to Forest Moor School, accommodating four seats.

The procurement period spans from May 2026 to March 2027, with the possibility of renewal to extend further. The award and contract, both now active, were finalised on 19th May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport sector. Businesses providing specialised transport services, capable of adhering to the specific logistical requirements of school transport, would find this tender suited to their service offerings.
