UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has completed a procurement process for the provision of Passenger Transport Services, focusing on route-based services with 1-8 seat vehicles. This project, identified under contract ID SA1376847, involves transportation within Northampton, UK, with services extending to ON Track Education Silverstone. Initiated as a limited competitive tender, this process utilised a 'light touch' procurement regime. The contract was awarded on 15th July 2026 and is set to commence on 4th September 2026, running through to 28th July 2028. The total value of the contract is £68,500, and the project falls under the services category, specifically for transport services, excluding waste transport.

The tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in small-scale passenger transportation services. Companies like JAI CARS, the contract's successful supplier, benefit by providing reliable transport solutions for individuals with specific social and emotional needs, from Northampton to Silverstone. This tender would be well-suited for businesses that offer tailored and sensitive transport services, particularly those familiar with education or community service contexts. The limited competition nature of the procurement suggests that businesses with robust local service delivery can effectively engage with these opportunities.
