The procurement covers transport services for students, rather than vehicle supply, education provision or wider college operations. The buying organisation is Heart of Yorkshire Education Group, based in Wakefield, England. The service is associated with Selby College, although no further operating locations are identified. This is a services contract classified under transport services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent coach, bus and specialist student transport operators able to provide scheduled transport for a college population. The procurement has been completed following an open procedure. Bids closed on 31 July 2026. The estimated procurement value was £927,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. An active award was made on 18 August 2026 to SWEYNE COACHES LTD and Acklams Coaches Limited, with an awarded value of £5,895. The award covers the same period as the procurement contract. The published outcome identifies two suppliers, but does not allocate separate values between them. The tender was evaluated as a services procurement for student transport, with no separate lot structure or detailed award weighting recorded here. This award demonstrates established demand from Heart of Yorkshire Education Group for dedicated student transport at Selby College. Competitors considering future work with this buyer would need to provide reliable, organised passenger transport suitable for students and to operate within the college’s service requirements. The successful supplier profile includes coach or bus operators capable of delivering the requirement jointly, as two suppliers were selected. Small and medium-sized businesses were expressly considered suitable, so scale alone is not a barrier; however, a credible operator would need sufficient vehicles, drivers, scheduling capability and operational resilience to support college transport services. Experience in education, school or student transport would help demonstrate relevant delivery capability. ## Notice Heart of Yorkshire Group are looking for a supplier(s) to provide student transport services for Selby College only (all other sites within the Group are out of scope).
