Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured passenger transport services for a route-based provision carrying up to eight passengers, classified as transport services. The route serves one passenger without a personal assistant, with scheduled journeys between Tyes Court in Northampton, CE Academy – Overleys on Leicester Street in Northampton, and The Seeds of Change in Newland Road, Walgrave. Journeys are arranged across weekdays, with separate morning, midday and afternoon timings. The service connects the passenger’s Northampton address with education and support locations in Northampton and Walgrave. This is a local scheduled transport requirement involving passenger vehicles, drivers and the reliable operation of a defined route for the council.

The procurement is complete and the single lot is complete. West Northamptonshire Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd was awarded the contract on 23 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 3 September 2026 to 25 July 2027, with a gross value of £14,400. The council stated that it would set a start price for the contract. The award covers the route-based passenger transport service and was made to Mayfair Cars Northampton Ltd. The procurement used a limited competition rather than an open procedure; no separate quality or price weighting is recorded in the outcome.

This award shows recurring demand from West Northamptonshire Council for small-scale, route-based passenger transport serving education and support destinations. Suppliers well placed for similar work would have suitable vehicles for journeys carrying between one and eight passengers, dependable drivers and the operational capacity to run several fixed weekday journeys across Northampton and Walgrave. They would need to manage precise pickup and drop-off timings, repeat journeys between the same locations and the practical requirements of transporting a passenger without a personal assistant. Local knowledge of Northampton, Walgrave and the connecting roads would support reliable delivery. Experience operating council or education-related passenger transport would make a supplier more credible when this requirement returns to market.
