This tender focused on transport services for the route from Ripon to Henshaws Arts and Crafts, with a contract duration from March 2026 to March 2028. The procurement method used was a limited competition, due to its below-threshold value. The procurement, initiated as a tender, has advanced through the award stage, being completed and active as of 8 April 2026. The transport services fall under the industry category of "services", with a central role in the UKE22 region, particularly around Harrogate, United Kingdom.
