## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has successfully completed its procurement process for the provision of school transport services under contract SPFO068, targeting the Knaresborough area. The procurement involved a limited competition method, falling below the financial threshold, with an award made on 31 March 2026. The contract spans from April 2026 to April 2028 and is focused on transport services for schools in Skipton, Askwith, Weeton, Harrogate, and Pannal, all leading to The Forest School. This service falls under the transport industry category and was awarded to R N Taxis Ltd, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Keighley, marking a significant step in the procurement cycle that commenced as a tender.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with capabilities to provide tailored solutions for educational institutions. It highlights potential growth for SMEs and transport providers aiming to expand their reach into the public sector, given the chances to forge long-term relationships with local government entities. Companies able to offer competitive pricing and reliable scheduling in school transportation are well-positioned to benefit from similar opportunities with North Yorkshire Council and other local authorities seeking public transport solutions fitting their educational needs.
