UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council has engaged in a procurement process for "Passenger Transport Services 2026 - Route Based (1-8 Seat Provision)," under the services category. This procurement, titled "SA1379202," is being conducted in Northampton, United Kingdom, and concluded the award stage on 24th July 2026. The procurement method employed was limited, indicative of a below-threshold competition tailored for light-touch regimes. The contract commenced on 1st September 2026 and is set to end on 23rd July 2028. The services will aid in transport specifically designed to cater to social and emotional difficulties, inclusive of child and booster seats for enhanced safety.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, especially within Northamptonshire and the surrounding areas. SMEs capable of providing dedicated, route-based transport solutions could find growth potential, particularly those focusing on tailored transport services for vulnerable groups or educational institutions. Station Taxi Limited, an SME based in Northampton, successfully secured this contract, highlighting the opportunity for similarly scaled businesses to engage with local government procurement activities to expand their service reach and gain a foothold in public sector transport services.
