## Summary

The North Yorkshire County Council is undertaking a procurement process for the purchase of low floor accessible minibuses, aimed at delivering accessible school, local bus, and demand responsive services in both rural and urban regions of North Yorkshire. This tender stage has recently been completed, with the awarded contract valued at £1,244,906. Suppliers had to submit their bids by 17th February 2021, and the contract is set to commence on 14th April 2021 and conclude on 13th April 2026. The procurement method employed is a selective, or restricted procedure, primarily focused on the goods category, which includes repair and maintenance services and specialist vehicles.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in the manufacturing and supply of minibuses, particularly those that are small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies that can provide low floor accessible minibuses complying with local accessibility regulations will find this tender appealing as it aligns with the increasing demand for accessible transportation solutions. Engaging in this contract could not only enhance a business's portfolio but also establish long-term partnerships with local government authorities in the region.
