UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has concluded a procurement process for "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)" in the transport services industry. The procurement process is in the 'Award' stage and was completed with the contract signed on 24th July 2026. The location for the services includes Rugby and Coventry in the United Kingdom. This tender, which amounted to £67,890, followed a limited competition procurement method due to its 'Below threshold' classification. Key dates include the service commencement on 1st September 2026 and completion by 25th July 2027.

This contract presents growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing transport services, particularly those capable of managing route-based passenger transport with vehicles accommodating 1 to 8 seats. Suitable candidates are organisations with the necessary infrastructure to support the specified transport routes, as well as the operational capacity to adhere to the scheduling requirements. Large-scale transport service providers, like Star Cab Daventry Limited—a large company awarded this contract—might find similar opportunities lucrative if they possess scalable assets and expertise in handling similar service specifications.
