## Summary

The North Yorkshire Council has completed a procurement process for school transport services in the Richmond area, specifically for four seats on the route from Bishopdale to Askrigg Primary School, spanning from April 2026 to July 2026. This contract, identified as 513R, falls under the services category with a limited procurement method below the threshold, indicating limited competition. The contract was awarded on 13th April 2026 to Take Me Group Ltd, a large supplier based in Loughborough, and spans a renewable period until 31st July 2026, with potential extensions up to two additional years. The process is governed by the legal framework outlined in the UK Public General Acts 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transport services outside the waste transport sector, specifically those able to offer reliable school transportation solutions. Companies specialising in logistics, passenger transport services, or school shuttle operations may find particular growth prospects from such contracts, especially given the scope for renewal and contract modification options. The buying organisation, North Yorkshire Council, is a sub-central government authority, thus providing stability and potential for long-term partnerships for enterprises capable of meeting regional transportation needs efficiently.
