## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a procurement process for school transport services, specifically for the Harrogate area, under contract R0963. This tender involved providing transportation for up to four seats from Thormanby to Outwood Academy Ripon, running from March 2026 to May 2026. The procurement was carried out using a limited method, suitable for being below the threshold set by legal standards. Premier Taxis was awarded the contract on 14th April 2026, with the service-based contract remaining active from 16th March to 8th May 2026. The council operates within the public authority sector, categorised under sub-central government, with County Hall, Northallerton serving as the administrative location. The transport services industry is the primary category for this project, and the contracting process is already in the award stage.

This contract presents an opportunity for businesses involved in transport services in the United Kingdom, particularly in the UKE2 region, to explore avenues to grow their operations. SMEs specialising in transport could find a competitive advantage, as demonstrated by Premier Taxis' successful bid. With a contract value of £48,960, there is potential for contract renewal and modification for interested businesses to further engage with North Yorkshire Council's future transport needs. The procurement provides openings for local transport operators to establish partnerships with governmental bodies, thereby solidifying their presence in public sector tenders.
