## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a public procurement process for the provision of school transport services from Bedale to Dishforth Airfield Primary School in Hambleton, with a requirement for four seats. The process was conducted using a limited procurement method due to its below-threshold value and was open to limited competition. The contract was successfully awarded to Mike Foster Taxis, a small or medium-sized enterprise, on 19th November 2025, and it is scheduled to run until 31st July 2026, with potential extensions up to July 2028. The procurement stage was in the Award and Contract phase as of 15th January 2026, focusing on the services category under the CPV classification of transport services. This procurement falls within the region designated as UKE22, specifically targeting the Harrogate area.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those that can provide reliable and efficient school transport solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises, such as Mike Foster Taxis, are well-positioned to compete in such bids due to their flexibility and local knowledge, which can be crucial for regional contracts. Additionally, businesses that are adept at managing service contracts with options for modifications and renewals stand to benefit from participating in such limited-competition procurement processes. This can lead to the strengthening of their market presence in the public sector transport services domain.
