Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a procurement process titled "SP04781/SCHOOL TRANSPORT/REQUEST FOR QUOTATION/OUT OF COUNTY/4 SEATS". This concerns the provision of school transport services from Northallerton to Hartwell School, accommodating four passenger seats, for the academic term spanning September 2026 to July 2027. The procurement fell under the "services" industry category with a focus on transport services, and was conducted via a limited competition method. Located in Northallerton, the tender was concluded with the award dated 27th May 2026, and the contract will commence on 3rd September 2026, running until 31st July 2027, with potential extensions up to 2029.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in transport services, particularly those capable of providing reliable and efficient school transportation solutions. Given the limited competition method used and the award to HELLO COOPERS TAXIS LTD, smaller enterprises, classified as SMEs, with a focus on quality service in transport sectors would have found this tender appealing. Companies aiming for growth in contract delivery for local government entities, especially in sub-central government projects, would benefit from similar opportunities to expand their market presence and establish a track record in public service contracts.
