Summary of the contracting process

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a procurement process for school transport services within the Durham area, titled "SP06045 - SCHOOL TRANSPORT - REQUEST FOR QUOTATION - DURHAM AREA - 4 SEATS". The procurement was initiated to provide transportation from Leeming Bar to Strawberry Lane School for four seats over the period from May 2026 to July 2028, with the potential for extension until 2030. This contract, valued at £112,560, was awarded on 18th May 2026, following a limited competition methodology due to its below-threshold status. The main procurement category is services, specifically transport services, and the transportation will cover the region UKE2 in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in transport services. With its focus on providing consistent and reliable school transport, businesses with a strong service record and existing infrastructure in the North-East of England would find this contract beneficial. As the contract includes options for modifications and renewal, successful bidders can anticipate a long-term engagement, which could bolster their service offerings and market presence in the region.
