## Summary

The University of York has initiated a procurement process for coach services aimed at transporting students from Hull residences to its York campus for the Autumn 2021/22 term. This tender, classified under the CPV code for the hire of buses and coaches with a driver, is at the award stage, with a contract value of £197,500 signed on 22nd September 2021. The procurement method was limited, necessitating an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to extreme urgency arising from unforeseen circumstances.

Companies like Acklams Coaches Limited have already been involved in this tender, highlighting the potential for SMEs specialising in transport logistics to expand their client base within the education sector. Businesses that can demonstrate capability and capacity to accommodate similar urgent transport needs would be well-positioned to compete in such tenders in the future.
