UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the Passenger Transport Services 2026, specifically targeting route-based services with 1-8 seat provision. This contract covers services within Northampton, UK, with key locations including Falcon Way, Wootton, and the CE Academy on Leicester Street. The procurement process, under the 'light touch' regime, was conducted through a limited competition method as it fell below the general threshold for open competitions. The contract was formalised with Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd on 3 July 2026, with the actual services starting from 6 July 2026 and concluding on 23 July 2026, reflecting a short-term engagement with a gross value of £17,000.

This tender offers substantial growth potential for businesses in the passenger transport sector, especially those specialising in small and medium-sized vehicle services. Organizations with existing capabilities in providing reliable transport services during school term times are well-positioned to excel in such projects. The specialised requirement for 1-8 seat transport provision presents an opportunity for firms to showcase their efficiency and service quality in a narrowly focused market segment, capitalising on short-term contracts with public authorities like sub-central governments. The selection of Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd highlights the importance of local expertise in successfully securing such contracts.
