This tender involves providing school transport services from May to July 2026, facilitating travel from Scarborough to Cherry Tree Lodge with a requirement for four seats. The procurement process, managed by the council located in Northallerton, utilised a limited competition method due to its below-threshold status.

The contract, valued at £30,240 gross, has been awarded to Nippy Taxis Ltd, a large enterprise based in Scarborough.
