## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has concluded a contracting process for school transport services, specifically for the Knareborough area under contract SPFO059. The procurement, which falls under the industry category of transport services, commenced on 31st March 2026. The council sought quotations for providing four-seat transport from Northallerton, Thornton Le Moor to The Forest School, covering the period from April 2026 to April 2028. This contract was procured using a limited competition method, as it was below the threshold, and has now advanced to the award stage with the contract subsequently signed. The procurement follows legal guidelines under the UKPGA 2023/54 and was classified as a 'Below threshold - limited competition'. The contract valued at £76,000 (net) is awarded to K.A.Taxis Thirsk, marking the completion of the procurement process.

The awarded contract presents a growth opportunity for local transport service providers, particularly those in the SME category, exemplified by the successful award to K.A.Taxis Thirsk. Businesses specialising in transport services, especially in the North Yorkshire area, can leverage such tenders to expand their portfolio of services, collaborating with local government bodies to ensure sustainable business development. The requirement for school transport services suggests potential ongoing opportunities for similar services across educational and other sectors, encouraging entries from businesses that can offer reliable and efficient transport solutions. Companies looking to engage with public authorities should consider fostering relationships with organisations like The North Yorkshire Council, known for their public sector procurement activities.
