Summary of the contracting process

The West Northamptonshire Council has completed the procurement process for the "Improvements to Customer Information 2025/26" project which falls under the promotional services industry category. This project aims to enhance customer information for bus routes and the broader network within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This procurement has gone through the award stage as of 30th April 2025, with the contract executed starting from 1st April 2025 and set to conclude on 31st March 2026. The procurement method was a limited competitive quotation, specifically below the threshold, with a total contract value of £50,000. The tender was not specifically targeted to SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in promotional services, particularly those capable of managing large-scale information enhancement projects. Companies experienced in digital or physical promotional material and capable of elevating customer engagement could find this contract beneficial for demonstrating their expertise to public sector clients. Though this particular contract has been awarded to Pindar Creative, similar opportunities can be anticipated for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio with public sector projects in transport and information services. Having a competitive edge in the latest customer engagement technologies would be advantageous in future tenders with West Northamptonshire Council or similar organisations.
